Crescent 10" Adjustable Wrench - Carded - AC210VS

I bought this to replace a cresent wrench that had worn out. My previous one died after I used it as a hammer in an emergency. br>br>It's a 1 star hammerbr>but a 5 star wrenchbr>br>br>Edit: On the basis of my old crescent wrench, I reviewed this. (It was the hammer I used. ) br>br>However, my new one is having issues. I also have issues with the new one I bought from Amazon. br>br>The first one was delivered to me. I took it out of the package and tossed the old one in the trash. br>I noticed the adjustable jaw had what appeared to be cutting wheel marks two days later (I was surprised I didn't need it for two days). I suppose they changed the angle by accident while smoothing the bottom jaw, or the machine got stuck, or a chunk fell off while they were doing so. Deep gashes could be found in either case. On w, these were acting as if they were teeth. I found it to be appropriate for the project I was working on. On a $1500 Toto shower head, I discovered the answer. There was a nice brass scratch on the surface. So I sent crescent an e-mail and relegated the wrench to the rough plumbing department. Crescent never responded to my emails. As a result, I decided to order a new one from Amazon. It was most likely an isolated incident. Well, the replacement arrived, and I was underwhelmed. I put the two wrenches side by side and compared them. br>Let's start with the non-essentials: I'm pretty sure these were all made with the same mold. In fact, the replacement came after the original. I know because the deformation in the casting on the top of the circular cut out was a little worse than the first. In addition, the original's worm screw pin was pushed in much deeper than the replacement's. Both of these factors will have no impact on the wrench's performance, but they do provide insight into how strict quality control is. br>br>The real issues are: br>br> The machine marks from the original wrench have already been discussed. This new one, on the other hand, has a different issue. The threads on the top of the worm screw were not filed or ground deep enough. As the jaw approaches full extension, the worse screw will come into contact with the non-slotted part of the adjustable jaw, causing it to become stuck. Then I have to wiggle it just a little to get it to pass. I'm extremely disappointed. These wrenches have never caused me any problems in the past. Others in my company have them, and they enjoy them as well. It's possible that I just got two bad wrenches by chance. However, I have a feeling Apex Tools is scrimping on quality. Two bad wrenches in a row could indicate a lack of quality control. Customer service's lack of response suggests that they don't have enough people to handle all of the requests. br>br>I'm going to use a dremel to finish griding the threads off the top of the wormwheel on my own. I need a working tool right now, not in two days (sorry, Amazon Prime isn't fast enough for me!). Next time, I'll look into a different brand.

I have both the 10" and 12" wrenches, and they are both well-made and comfortable to hold. For stubborn bolts, I wouldn't mind putting a pipe on the handle. Both of these high-quality adjustable wrenches should be in every backyard mechanic's toolbox. They can be used on both metric and standard bolts and can be used as a second wrench of any size, so you only need one set of wrenches. It's a lot less expensive than purchasing a second full set of wrenches. For auto work, I believe the 10" is the ideal size. I prefer the Crescent brand and would not purchase anything else. I'm my family's go-to back yard mechanic, and I keep all of the jalopies running, including lawnmowers, so this adjustable wrench comes highly recommended.

An adjustable wrench is a must-have in everyone's toolbox, and this one is a classic from "Crescent," the brand most often associated with adjustable wrenches, much like Zerox is with copiers. I have a number of Crescent adjustable wrenches, and they're all great. They're made of high-quality steel and are a long-lasting classic must-have.

The wrench is exactly what it says it is, and it appears to be well made. I consider myself to have gotten a good deal for less than $10.

This is a nice adjustable wrench of good quality. If you require an adjustable wrench, this one will suffice.
