Can I use an ordinary spanner to screw studs in?

[wench]

Or do I have to fork out for the expensive horsey versions!

Ask your farrier, he will be able to get them cheep for you from his supplier.

Of course you can, we have both an ordinary spanner and an adjustable one in the stud box. You don't have to use the T tap thingy!

nope i use one from a DIY shop. It has a nice rubber handle so doesnt hurt my hand.

make sure its adjustable, thats most important thing

me too, I have a wee adjustable one from B&Q, only about £4.

Does anyone use a socket set?

I use an ordinary spanner (nicked it from dad's tool kit!) for some of ours as some just don't sit the proper stud one - mind you that's probably cos it's old and cr*p and I could do with a new one!

Yup, I've got an ajustable one from the DIY shop.

Quick tip from someone who uses studs a lot...use a socket on a sliding bar. So easy and quick to use and never slips off the stud! Nicola

what do you mean a sliding bar?
