This was the type of spanner i was on about. You can`t get the extended nuts on a PM pipe . Its way too tight .

At £10.50 inc. post its worth a punt,if it works great,if it doesn't it can be put with the rest of the Lambretta stuff that doesn't fit/isn't fit for purpose.

Ha, I've got plenty of that

I used K-nuts (anti-septic cream and band aid to fit mine), they are smaller across the flats which gives more room to get the spanner in and they lock on.
Not cheap at £1 a nut but I haven't had to keep tightening them up

The anti-septic cream and band aid made me laugh.

I have an open ended Snap on spanner that does the same thing as ratcheting open ender.Once its on the nut,you just move it back and forth just like a ratchet.Will post a pic later as its in work and will have to go and get it.Trust me,it does work.

Looks more like a broken spanner to me

Snap on is getting beyond ridiculous these days, yes I've got a snap on box only because it was advertised very cheap in the local paper long before the internet was born and I was looking for something half decent to replace my quickly falling apart Clark box. As far as the tools though forget it, ok I've got 5 snap on tools, a long screw driver that just appeared over 20 years ago, another one that I found on the passenger seat of my sprinter van after disturbing someone using it to try and pinch my van, a grease gun that I've had for at least 30 years received in part payment for some moto x boots, a 14/15mm open end spanner that I found on the road and a set of feeler gauges i recently got off eBay for £1.50 as the seller didn't realise what he had or what it was worth.

I do look in on the snap on fb page and only today saw someone trying to sell a load of second hand pliers for £500!

For me the whole snap on thing is just so wrong and only serves to get young impressionable trainee mechanics into financial strife....
