Spanner won't change an Iron Tube

[PhilHibbs]

A spanner (bronze I think, same as the one you dismantle generators and macerators with) is supposed to rotate an Iron Transport Tube, but it won't. The only way I have found that usually works is a redstone signal, so usually I place the tube, and if it's wrong then I remove it, lay down a redstone signal, place the tube, and then remove the signal which causes the pipe to flip orienation. If it's a a T-junction then redstone can rotate it through the three orientations and so that can be done after placement.

Any ideas what's up with the spanner not working?

Pipes are from Buildcraft, so you need a Buildcraft wrench to rotate them.

Ah, I guess what I have is an IndustrialCraft wrench. Thanks.
