This is one of the neatest tools that ever came down the pike. Do-it-yourselfers shouldn't be without one. Solid construction, and easy to use.
The locking lever not only took out the slack inherent in an adjustable wrench, it held the wrench on the nut freeing my hands to grab another wrench or to manipulate the work. The price is reasonable. The finish is good and the jaws will open for a 1-1/4" nut. I had a wrench of this pattern made by Chapman Tool Company in the 1970's and it was one of my all-time top favorites. I was very sorry to lose the Chapman Tiger-lock overboard and I was delighted to see Stanley offering one, and bought it without hesitation. If it were made to the standards of Klein or Channellok I would have paid twice as much--cheerfully. I was disappointed to see the Stanley version is made in China and the fit of the working parts is marginal, but it does work and it will be going into my Daily Favorites toolbag in spite of its chunkiness.
Great tool, wouldn't be without it now. It is well built and does its job.
This wrench is very handy----use on metric and standard bolts and nuts. I keep one in the tractor as well as the vehicle. Locks on like a vise grip----no rounded corners.
This is a cross between a vice-grip and a crescent wrench. I also would like to see this tool in a 12" version. This is great for bath/kitchen plumbing when you need to remove stubborn fixtures and do not want to embed the channel lock/pipe wrench teeth into the chrome fixture and leave rough teeth marks on the smooth surface. The wrench locks down without marring the polished finish and it will not fall off if your hands are slippery wet.
