Such tools can be spotted in The Soviets (p.53-A1) and in Explorers on the Moon (p.44-A2)

Where else can an adjustable spanner be spotted?

It's been 24 hours, so time for a clue please yamilah.

Looking for an adjustable spanner

You can borrow mine if you like. Have the wheels come off again? ;-)

As it's now been 48 hours since the original question was posted, we'll skip this one and move on before yamilah posts the answer.

Anyone (except yamilah) may submit the next question.

Sorry I had indeed wheels problem with my car recently! (snow tyres to be put before the winter), and I wasn't around this week-end!

The answer was: in The Red Sea Sharks (p.62-C1), a kid holds a spanner similar to the one drawn in Soviets, in the center of the frame.

Don't want to be pedantic Yamilah but that is clearly a wrench and not an adjustable spanner!

I'm baffled, for it seems wrench = spanner!

Well a pipe wrench is a pipe wrench, an adjustable spanner is a different item all together :)

Thanks for those precisions. Anyway both Soviets' and kid's tools look similar, don't they?

And, don't forget, there's another type of spanner-like tool, which wears a frilly bonnet and a low-cut dress with crinoline petticoats. This is known as a comely wrench.
