Bahco 31 US Alligator Adjustable Review

You usually get ring spanners that are the right size, but sometimes you need something fast. Then the wrench shows its brilliance and there is nothing better than Bahco!

Excellent all round wrench. Use it every day as a merchant seafarer. Measurements allow you to quickly compare standard or metric screws. Allows fewer trips to the workshop. The small pipe wrench on the back is also very practical in flight.

This is a tool that I, as a sailor, have only ever seen on ships. There isn't much clearance between the jaws and I'm comfortable using it on heavy bolts. This is one of those tools that you can buy for yourself and only yourself, and then buy another one just in case it magically disappears. that I saw other people stealing this instrument from others. That's a great key.

I use this in tow. Really good if you're on a ship so you don't have to walk back and forth or carry a bunch of wrenches trying to find the right size nut and bolt you want to loosen. The slim design is a plus too, and the crocodile tail helps with loosening tube fittings. I use the hole in the tail to open the Racor fuel filter housing. Also great for home use! Had to fix my kettle with it.

I am a licensed marine engineer and use a decent attitude in my job every day. Boy these are amazing! They rarely slip (unless the nut is screwed to infinity) and feel great in the hand. The weight is great and the alligators at the end are always handy in an emergency. Being thin also helps because they can fit in some tight spots that other wrenches would never fit.

The snail and mouth can be completely disassembled if they rust. with a small Phillips screwdriver. There is a small spring on one side of the worm gear. So when you take this thing apart, be careful not to lose it. The crocodile

. The steel is very hard, so there are no dents or dents on the jaws. This results in a very smooth, flat contact surface with the screw head, which reduces slipping or rolling of the screw head. The adjustment wrench threads are not as thin as those on Milwakee adjustable wrenches, but the adjustable jaw does not suffer from excessive play. The end of the alligator is amazing. It's a hell you tear off solution for rusty or rounded heads/studs. I even banged the alligator with a hammer to take…

I am a marine engineer as are many who have reviewed this key here. I used and actually tested this key extensively during my last contract and it turned out to be exactly what most reviews say! The wrench is thin but very strong and strong, easy to place in many places where normal wrenches don't fit. I worked with a crew that rarely, if ever, bought their own wrench or other tool for that matter, always ended up with proprietary wrenches and was a chore to work with. Cheap Chinese ones have…
