Currently I am using a compass converted "Spanner Wrench". It is a bit flimsy, so I want to buy more professional ones. Is this a good one?

Hi,
The spanner in the auction seems fine, but i have never used it.
I bought a good spanner wrench from a seller who is no longer active on this forum. At that time, Attila was selling the same spanner, too, but i don't know if he still does have them in stock. Otherwise, there is Calvin83 who also sells some nice spanners, try to contact them through the forum mail ...
Hope this helps ...
P.S.: I too, i have used a compass as a spanner wrench, but i stopped the first time i failed to scratch the rear lens of a Flektogon 35/2.8 ...

Yep ... Luckily enough, i just scratched the rear part of the barrel ...
Just remembered that i used also an "homemade" spanner too, before buying a pro one ... look behind the Biometar ...

If you need this type of spanner, you may consider this Click here to see on Ebay or the spanner in micro-tools.
