Crescent 10-Inch Adjustable Dual Material Locking Wrench - ACL10VS Review

Thoughtful design to add a locking feature to a wrench but not sure it would work better than pliers. Everyone probably already has one of these.

Tried to use this after crescent wrench slipped off. It offered no more grip than advertised. That and the adjustable ratchet wrench couldn't even loosen the oil pan plug.

What a great invention, better than a traditional vise especially if the nut or bolt is in good condition before you start. No slipping or damage to the nut/bolt head.

I bought this hoping it would be a great all round tool for my tractor toolbox. The tool feels good in the hand, but after a few uses I found that it didn't hold the nut's size at all. I had to constantly fiddle with it so as not to round off the nut's shoulders. It was so frustrating that it was soon replaced by Crescent Locking Pliers.

This thing is damn cool. I got so tired of using a crescent wrench that came loose as I used it. Now I can let go of the thing and it stays in place. This comes in handy especially when I need to grab the nut and lean the handle against something to loosen the end of the bolt on the other side with an impact wrench or reamer to keep it from turning easily.

This is exactly what I needed: a strong grip. I bought a regular key and the handle wasn't nearly as strong, I had to return it. I change shower heads, the screw is really good for maintaining water pressure, this tool helped. It's pretty solid, be careful where you put your finger so it doesn't get caught between the grip and the trigger.

I expected much more from this product and brand. The adjustable part works well, but the vise part puts a little pressure on the nut even after critical moments have been spent adjusting it as tight as possible before tightening. The added bulkiness of the clamp further limits usability. This tool is the last of my options, a simple adjustable handle or vise is preferred.

The Craftsman and Crescent 10 inch adjustable wrench share the same shape with the only difference being that the Craftsman has a black release lever. Both are made in the same Chinese factory. Great tool for any box, especially a mobile or emergency box. millions of uses. Buy what is cheaper. Update 8/2/2020: These wrenches are only slightly more effective than regular adjustable wrenches. So hardly better than scrap.

more than I got. Looks good but tends to loosen after a few turns of the same nut. If you can put it on and leave it on until the nut or bolt loosens it's fine, but I got it as a replacement for the weld gas valve and I can't turn the wrench all the way without removing and installing it. When I do this I have to adjust the size before re-clamping. After a few turns it gets a bit uncomfortable. Almost the same as a normal wrench. Not worth the money for what I use it for.
