Back tap nut spanners ? Different sizes?

Outkast_IRE · 2010-07-26 20:44:47

Have any other plumbers noticed that loads of the new basin taps are coming with a metal nut that the standard back tap nut spanners dont fit. The nut is a bit smaller than the small side on the two sided back nut spanners , Does anyone know is there a back tap nut spanner around that fits these new smaller sized back nuts…
