These work fantastic for an adjustable wrench. Unlike the adjustable wrenches we’re accustom to like a “Cresent” style wrench, that seem to slip off when you need to bare down. This tool will hold tight when using because they are used like pliers and the smooth/parallel operating jaws keep the same shape of the “Cresent” style wrench. They have a lot of leverage when pinching. This tool will remove larger nuts and bolts than an a Cresent wrench of this size. It definitely has the Knipex quality! I l love the narrow jaws to get into skinny places this larger tool.
The one thing to remember, you do have to use this tool like “Pliers” which is not a problem in most uses, compared to an adjustable “Cresent” wrench that is set and used like a common wrench. This could be one negative, if I had to come up with one for this review.
With a little practice, this tool works a lot faster than an ordinary adjustable wrench. I think so much of this tool, I’ve purchased the big Daddy 24” version from Knipex. Hold on to your wallet though, this one will sting a little at checkout but it’s worth it. BIG BOY TOOLS! Gotta love it.
