It's useless, it can't snag on anything

Well made and very comfortable at an angle, but since it has no teeth it can snag on anything. It's partly my fault for not paying attention, although I never thought anyone would do such a thing. You can use a hex nut but not for pipes.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Modern

Quite acceptable for occasional use. day to day not so much.

Not a bad key for the money. I wish he had teeth instead of just relying on friction with smooth jaws. I abused it for about a month before it became a "self-regulating" key. After a few turns with it, the jaws opened too far to use and had to be readjusted. The angle is nice.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Zero

Perfect for swivels

I had a couple of couplers that I needed to take apart so I ordered it when this tool became available. Here's what I found: 1. It's a very well built tool and fairly durable. Jaw movement is as expected and there are no misses.2. The jaws adjust smoothly and quickly. After resizing, the tool looks at the nut and won't damage it like you would use a pipe wrench.3. I hang all my wrenches on the wall in my garage so having a hole in the end of the wrench for hanging is the perfect addition for…

Odd shape but works

I was looking for a wrench with smooth jaws that wouldn't scratch the brass bits I was servicing. This key seemed like a likely candidate, but it was actually the shape of the key that made me buy it. The key works fine but you have to be aware that it doesn't fully lock. When it is fully screwed in there will be a gap of about 3/4 inch. When fully open, the gap is 3 inches. But I strongly recommend not doing this as the wrench will fall apart if you push it too far. But it is quite easy to…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Great price

Good strong cast iron

- Made in China - Solid cast iron - No teeth in the clamp, smooth. permanent base. Our old one has been used maybe 3 times in the years we've lived in this house, but it's certainly great to have a good, sturdy one when you need it. Not currently listing so I don't know what they will cover. - the handle is a regular I-beam shape - the wheel has a handle texture - metal on metal so of course the wheel can be finicky but it works fully - the edges on the head are all pretty sharp, not polished…

Pros
  • Hex key
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

The product specifications claimed by Revain for this wrench are incorrect as of October 2021 **Fixing Range** Despite the erroneous product description (and incorrect numbers printed on the handle), the effective range of this wrench is 7/8" (22) hex head fasteners mm), as shown in the image with a reddish tint to the background, to 2 3/8 inches (60mm) as shown in another picture. Anything less than 7/8 inch will loosen in the jaws at the maximum position. **Maximum Pivoting Range** Opening…

Pros
  • Hand Tool
Cons
  • Expensive

Light and easy to work at an angle

- quality class. The wrench is adjustable from 1 1/2" to 2 5/8". The 6" handle is a bit short - fine for small jobs, but for larger jobs you'll need a longer-handled wrench for more torque. What I like about this wrench: - The wrench is easy to adjust and moves quickly and smoothly. there is no slippage or movement after adjustment. Jaws well aligned with no defects. It is convenient for narrow spaces and small jobs. you have to take it at an angle - There is a hole at the end in case you want…
