Even cheaper and easier if you don't have a stilson and don't wish to start cutting heavy metal tube is a bog standard basin wrench for under £3 from Toolstation. No doubt available from B&Q etc. too.
Best wishes

Hi there
Sorry to dig up an old post but how exactly do you use the basin spanner to open the spear??
TIA

Re: sankey keg tool cheap and easy
Basically use the basin wrench to unscrew the spear - it's a perfect fit.
Next drop the coin in and put the coupler on - this can be a bit tricky until you're used to it as the spear can now turn freely.
Engage the coupler (as if you are trying to get beer out) - the addition of the coin will mean the safety is disengaged.

I'd say be careful of the threads too they can be quite sharp.
