Just received this, to find it needs a 31mm spanner. Most adjustable spanners go up to 30mm, like the ones I have. I don't have a 31mm spanner, because why would anyone ever need a 31mm spanner? Stupidest tool ever.

Yes. CRC customer service on the phone is great.

It's been ringing for what seems the majority of my life now.

Tried that, also tried a file. Got bored and gave up.

Also no.

Plumbers adjustable

Possibly, but I'm not a plumber.

First of all I want to call them and moan for a few minutes, but that doesn't seem to be working either.

Going on the 2 adjustables I have, the 5 or so mates have, and the several others local bike shops have, 30mm seems the limit for most normal ones.

Cheers JY, will go try the poundshop.

Just called the pound shop, they only do ones that go up to 30mm...

Just called up wilkinsons, where the woman on the other end swore, and so did her colleague, that the adjustables they were selling went up to 10 inches.. ๐Ÿ™„

I know this one, they are all, in fact, the same size. It's just that the top one is further away, innit? I think it's called perspective, or sommat.
