Questions & Answers
I recently bought and returned the 4" version, which would only open 0. 635".
Adjustable wrenches for Snap-on are made in Spain by the same company that makes Snap-on's adjustable wrenches. In my opinion, it is superior to any US-made model.
There are too many nuts and too few wrenches in the world. We can better answer your question if we define "very thin" and "long enough." In addition to this wrench, I purchased a slim/thin fixed size wrench to work on a specific nut.
The wrench is well-made, and it makes no difference to me whether it was made in Spain or the United States.

The main use case is: In tight spaces, use a backing wrench for large compression and VCR fittings. Because my other adjustable wrenches have grown legs, I'm sure I'll use it as a general-purpose wrench as well. Advantages: br>br>
1. I can use it on nuts that are between other surfaces and are inaccessible to larger wrenches (read: nuts that are between other surfaces and are inaccessible to larger wrenches). semiconductor tools are all over).
2. For small spaces, it's stubby. Because this is a thin-jawed tool, I won't be applying too much torque to it.
3. High visibility and a comfortable grip. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product.
1. The jaws don't line up properly, as many other reviews have mentioned; they're about 200um off. Please accept my apologies; this irritates me greatly. This is most likely a manufacturing issue rather than a defect, so expect a lot of wrenches like this to come off the line.
2. The screw is adequate, but not as nice as my 30-year-old Craftsman. Although there is some braking, it is far superior to a Husky or other low-cost brand that can seize up.
3. There's a little more play in the jaw than I'd like, which isn't a big deal for really big work pieces but can be dangerous if you're not paying attention when working on smaller projects. This is related to the screw issue mentioned above. br>br>Like I said in the headline, it's good value for money and will do the job if you're looking for a wrench like this, but it's not an heirloom piece.
It is of excellent quality. *This review is for the 6 inch slim jaw Channel Lock Adjustable Wrench
Aside from the fact that it's a little pricey, I can't say enough good things about this wrench. On first impressions, the jaws' ability to open wide impresses me. 38mm (1 9/16") It's just a smidgeon bigger than my Kobalt Adjustable Wrench, which is 10 inches long. Even more versatility is provided by the extra-slim jaws. This grip is also one of my favorites. It's extremely comfortable, and I could tell right away that this was a high-quality wrench when I picked it up. I also went ahead and bought the 8" version. With the exception of a few German screwdrivers/pliers, I usually only buy tools made in the United States, but I'm now convinced that Spain produces some incredibly high-quality tools as well. These will be a welcome addition to my toolkit. There isn't a more adaptable 6" adjustable wrench on the market.
BUY THIS IF YOU DO ANY TYPE OF PLUMBING OR VEHICLE WORK! These are now my new favorite tools thanks to their unique combination of large jaw capacity and short length. Compression and hydraulic fittings are typically large and unusually shaped, as well as stacked closely together. There never seems to be enough room around the fitting for a 10" adjustable wrench to work effectively, and the fittings aren't wide enough to fit two adjustable wrenches on either side, so this little wrench has the large jaw capacity of a big adjustable wrench but is short enough to work in tight spaces. The narrow jaws allow you to grip compression and bulkhead jam nuts that would otherwise be impossible to grasp. When your standard wrenches won't fit, you won't have to resort to pliers nearly as often. br>br>It's a high-quality tool made in Spain (rather than China). Definitely out of the ordinary, but the Spanish have a long history of producing high-quality products. Steel blades of excellent quality. The thick, ergonomic rubber grip fits comfortably in my hand and provides better control than a slick, unwieldy metal handle.
TSA confiscated my 7" adjustable that I had in my backpack. They said it had to be less than 7", so this Channellock, which measures 6 3/4" and has an extra wide mouth, fits the bill. The TSA agent took it from my backpack on my last trip and said it had to be confiscated. I told them to measure it, and it passed with flying colors, with the added bonus of a covered handle!.
I measured the required wrench tooth width and discovered this product on Amazon that would suffice. I used the wrench to finish my job in a matter of minutes after receiving it, and I was on my way to the next stage of the project. I may not need this wrench for the specific use-case I had in mind. I won't need the case for a while, but I'm sure I'll need it again. I'll store this wrench safely somewhere I'll remember where I put it later, because I know it'll only be a matter of time before it happens, and I'm confident that this wrench will make quick work of the task.
Channellock tools are among my favorites because of their high quality, long durability, and clever design. Sure, you can pay 2X, 3X, or even 4X more for a given hand tool and work with the rare Swiss or German options. but for the 99% of us doing regular work as tradesmen, home owners, and so on - This small but mighty adjustable is a force to be reckoned with.
Capacity of 1 3/8"! br>Thin jaws are ideal for jam nuts. br>Handle has a nice feel to it. br>Quality tool made in Spain that I use to fix large machinery. br>br>Used for a little more than two years: br>I gave it a one-star rating because the soft handle has started to slide around and fall off during use. If you don't get any oil on the handle, it should last a long time. br>br>Minus one star for causing landfill with the handle. br>I'm just going to remove the handle, toss it out, and keep the wrench.
I purchased these to use on instruments in the field in order to reduce the number of tools I needed to carry. a major blunder They have slid off large air fittings (yes, I wiggled and tightened them down) because they lose grip easily. Because the adjustment has sharp sections, I use gloves when working with it. You can get into tight spaces because the head is pointed but wide, but you can no longer rotate. It's a waste of money to buy these.
