Bosch Specific Spanner - silverzx - 29-11-2012
Anyone gotta link (ebay?) to a spanner suitable for removing that awkward front 13mm on the pump?
Really cant be assed cutting up a spanner would rather just pay.

Mmmmm! Laser tools! That'll undo the bolt once before it rounds off!!!
Bosch do do a specific one, but they're damned expensive from what I remember...

Looks fine to me, says it's chrome valadium so it must be pretty sturdy. Also says it is from the professional range as well.
RE: Bosch Specific Spanner - cwspellowe - 29-11-2012
Yes but Halfords do a professional range too, believe me they're far from professional...

It's £3, it's going to be shite.

I use Draper DIY Series tools from Asda for £6 pounds, they have always served me perfectly. Obviously if you abuse the tools they're gonna break. A lot of it is people being snobby, TBH.
RE: Bosch Specific Spanner - zx_volcane - 29-11-2012
I have one of these and for the money its a bargain, haven't rounded anything yet?
It doesn't exactly get as much use a regular 13mm, and not going to put much force through it, so why pay more?
For regular tools that get a lot of use, I'll agree you want as good as you can afford, but for something so specific, unless you're changing pumps day in day out...
RE: Bosch Specific Spanner - Ruan - 29-11-2012
Because they always end up at like 13.2mm, so when you get a pump that's locktite'd on, it rounds it off instantly, then you've got a reet ballache on to get it off... I'd rather spend a few quid extra and get something that's going to save me time in the long run...
Call me a snob, but I cant stand buying cheap for the sake of buying cheap... I'm no Snap-On fanboi, but don't get me wrong, until you've used a set of Snap-Ons, you won't know what most people mean... There's a reason they're ungodly expensive.

buy cheap buy twice
RE: Bosch Specific Spanner - Dum-Dum - 29-11-2012
Think it's the laser ones I've got and I've used the half moon 13 quite a bit and it ain't broke or rounded yet.
