Channellock 806SW Xtra Slim Jaw 6-Inch Adjustable Wrench: Precise Grip in Tight Spaces, Easy Sizing with Measurement Scales Review

I needed a thin slotted wrench to remove and install flash hiders on my rifles. Matters are complicated by the fact that the barrel and muzzle flash hiders differ depending on the caliber of the rifle. So this wrench was just what I needed. It's a good solid key and I think it will last for years. People who complain that it's not accurate enough are unrealistic. If you don't work in the aerospace industry, this key will work.

I've seen questions about using this bike wrench cone wrench. I've used it on several bikes and it works well as a cone wrench. The wrench has some play and is not a precision tool, but will fit a variety of sizes. I didn't want to buy and keep a full set of cone wrenches that I would use once or twice a year, so I went with this one to save space and money. While it could have been done better, it did what I needed pretty well.

Tired of getting the wrong cone wrench or not having an obscure size to rebuild the bike, I bought this one with a little fear that the ears would be too fat would be for my needs. I'm wrong, this item is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone. It's worth noting that this is a 6 inch wrench so smaller than anything I would otherwise use but works great for what I use it for. too lazy for a photo).

The thin part of the jaws is not long enough. Or in other words, deep enough to reach. I needed really thin jaws to reach the locking nut on the wheels so I could tighten the nut on the other side of the leg mount. It was a very thin lock nut and the diameter of the structures around it didn't allow me to press the jaws of this wrench onto the nut tight enough. The quality of the key seems to be normal. But thin jaws are too short to be effective in tight spaces where you need really thin jaws.

I bought this to service my bushings and not have to carry multiple cone wrenches of a certain size. Good for my toolbox for the money and quality, but I still need to buy some cone wrenches. This works well for external locknuts, but the jaws were barely too thick to fit one side of my hub (Shimano XT). I filed it several times but it was still too wide to fit properly. It went in from the side, since the wrench is still quite thick around the adjustment piece, it gets in the way when the lock

For a small to medium sized wrench I initially thought it was a bit pricey. However, I've been using them for a while and I have to say they're worth every penny. I use them for bike maintenance. For those new to bike maintenance, skinny wrenches may be required when working on bikes as there are many parts to reach between frame parts and the like. They fit into most of those nooks and crannies, and they're also adjustable, so they're perfect for storing as a set on the go so you can make any…

A common problem with the S&W M&P Compact 22 with threaded barrel is that the thread protection can hardly be removed. I found that true. S&W usually sends a gun key for this, but mine came with no key. The wrench flats on the thread guard are very narrow, so I tried to remove the thread guard with a stamped wrench lying around. He leaned forward. So I emailed S&W and they happily sent me one of their keys. With minimal pressure on the wrench, one of the ears broke off. So I spent some time…

A common problem with S&W M&P Compact 22's with a threaded stock is that the thread protector is almost impossible to remove. I found that true.
