Gadget for undoing those pesky spacers

[Carole]

Do you ever get spacers etc stuck, I do even when I have oiled the threads first.

After having a real job unscrewing a spacer the other day I found this on Amazon.  I have it now and it certainly grip those 2" spacers and the grip is sort of rubberised.  I guess having two of them would be even better.

No wonder you never complain about threads getting stuck

Robert - you obviously missed Fay's threads - she is always moaning about getting adapters/ nose pieces etc. stuck... John

Thats right John, had terrible problems in the past

I've used plumbers spanners in the past and a metal kitchen jar opener but it is difficult to do it without really scratching or damaging the metal work.
