Review on Channellock 808W 8 Inch Adjustable Wrench by Scott Rao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great key! on adjustable wrenches

Although Channellock isn't a snap-on or one of those high-end professional tools that cost a fortune, I believe they will do the job. Although I consider myself a hobby mechanic/car builder, I need tools that stand up to regular use and a lot of hard work. The channellock wrench held up well to the regular use I gave it. The adjustment threads haven't failed, although like every other adjustable wrench I've used, they loosen a bit during use and may need adjustment to keep the wrench firmly on the bolt or nut. I use them a lot as sometimes it's easier than constantly changing the wrenches to the right size. Of course I can't always do that. Some bolts/nuts require the appropriate size wrench to remove. I love that this wrench feels lighter than some other brands. I was a little worried about the quality when I first felt the weight, but after a few months of use they worked great.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
