I have never experienced something like that.

I was a registered mechanic in my own shop just so we know what I'm talking about, at least not from a novice mechanic's perspective. I've used adjustable wrenches galore. One of my favorite YouTube channels from a person with the initials AC raves about it, albeit from a different manufacturer; They often appear in his videos when he fixes and fixes things. A long handle tapering to the next point opens up many possibilities. You can use it to line up two holes, for example, or use it as leverage that you can use just the right amount to get a good grip, not to mention the extra leverage you get when you get one up to 16 inches. long. If you have a stubborn nasty bolt that opens up the possibility of using an extension tube for even more leverage. Now let's talk about accuracy. Immediately I thought the markings along the face with a sharp arrow engraved would be close, but not exact. Well I was wrong. Perfect. For example, I searched for 1/4"< and 1/2". On the other hand, it also offers dimension lines in the metric system. If you're thinking about using an adjustable wrench, the key factor is that you're going blind and have to keep turning the adjustment until it grabs the bolt hard. Well while doing this you can hold it from a distance, adjust the size of the stud and then drop it into the cavity where the stud rests and get the perfect fit. This is madness. This is not a pun. It's made of chrome vanadium steel and has a corrosion resistant black phosphating finish so it definitely reminds me of the impact socket sets I use to remove tires from cars and use them with any regular sized socket wrench. percussion pistol. Simply put, this is a super powerful key. This is the only adjustable wrench I've ever considered for use as a multi-purpose tool like a hammer. The back of the 16-inch hammer has a large anvil that's so rounded the manufacturer says it's designed for impact. The jaw at 16 actually turns off, breaks off and you can put it back on the opposite side, which tapers at a unique angle with serrated molars, with slanted serrated surface to quickly move a bolt or even pipe without having to find the right size every time. two jaws. With the jaw open and slightly inclined, it more closely resembles the flexibility of a plumber's pipe wrench or similar, but is even more difficult as the angled jaw is more receptive. Just like one of my favorite YouTube channels, I'm going to mention this tool, or should I say tools since it comes in two different sizes. Highly recommended.
