What’s a wrench that won’t grip?

Not a wrench, that’s for sure. Needed it for a simple shower head change out ( just like in the picture). No matter how tight we turned it, it wouldn’t grab. Added a piece of silicone, the wrench gripped, but the thumb screw loosened. Rather difficult to hold the shower head with one hand, and turn the wrench with the other while trying to keep the thumb screw from turning. Frustrating for sure.

Pros
  • Great item for the price, work well
Cons
  • The size of the wrench may take up too much storage space

14 inches wrench damaged

14 inches wrench doesn’t work and it looked like they tried to fix it before sending it to me by putting oil in it but still doesn’t work.

Pros
  • Used it first day, great tool.
Cons
  • There is too much play and it doesn’t grab like it’s supposed to.

Great Wrench for a low price!

This wrench grips fantastically! Its very sturdy and is exactly what I needed to get a tight pipe loose! I know that this is a professional tool, but it works just as great for us novice females who need to do work around the house also! Lol

Pros
  • For the price works as intended
Cons
  • It may not accommodate smaller pipes and fittings

Completely unusable

Like other recent reviews stated, this product arrived with a design flaw making preventing a user from twisting the knob to adjust the opening of the wrench. Impossible to use. Clearly no quality control was done before sending out the product.

Pros
  • Duratech is a good brand with high quality. They work.
Cons
  • The wrench may be too heavy to carry around for on-the-go jobs

Like to pick out tools. All women should own their own tools!

This is the third tool kit I am putting together for myself. I end up giving them away to my children. I miss Sears as they had the best tools. I like to look and touch and feel the weight. There is something appealing when one can smell a hardware department of store.

Pros
  • Great wrench--I was dumb and left it by the sink though so it did rust cosmetically just a little
Cons
  • The wrench locked up immediately when I tried to open it. DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY.

Don't buy it best in my review

It was very cheap and wasn't sturdy at all and broke the very first time I used it. I know nothing about tools. But I do know it sucks and wasn't a working tool

Pros
  • I changed out a shower head the night it arrived.
Cons
  • The large size may make it difficult to use in tight spaces

Doing a DIY plumbing project? Get these!

I think my home repair (DIY) people are reluctant to tackle plumbing jobs. These wrenches make the job so much easier. Good value too!

Pros
  • I love the smoothness of the wheel, to adjust the size.
Cons
  • The design may not be aesthetically pleasing to some consumers

It's a very handy tool

This one's got some bang for the buck. Just buy it and you'll realize why you always needed a mini pipe wrench That's my review.

Pros
  • Love the color. Easy to use and perfect tool for the money!
Cons
  • The malleable cast iron handle may not provide a comfortable grip for extended use

Fell apart on first use

I bought this wrench to tighten up under the sink pipes. First use, my son was under the sink and the wrench came apart and fell on his head. Not a great experience.

Pros
  • Greatproduct
Cons
  • The wrench may not be suitable for those with grip-strength issues

Kinda flimsy on my review.

I bought this thinking it would help me to open the drain cover. nope not at all and it feels flimsly like i will break it. At this point not sure what i will do it.

Pros
  • easy to use for removing shower head
Cons
  • Too much play in the jaw

Poor quality from Durateck

My wrench came with a huge chunk of missing metal out of the side of the wrench. The factory painted over it with light blue paint and sent it out to be sold. Bad quality control. The tightening nut is very loose and the jaws do not line up even close. Horrible amounts of wobble in the jaws. Over all, a waste of money. Return.

Pros
  • Was smaller than I had anticipated but so we'll made.and easy to use. Love this little wrench.
Cons
  • The price point may be too high for some consumers

This was perfect best in my review

My first time changing a shower head myself. This helped me take it off in under 2 minutes! I was trying with just my hands for a couple days. 10/10 recommend having this at home!

Pros
  • Great value, very handy for small jobs.
Cons
  • The malleable cast iron handle may corrode with prolonged exposure to water

Bad quality. Not working out of the box.

This is a badly manufactured wrench. The adjustment is stuck and cannot turn straight out of the box. Seems like a poorly manufactured wrench and would look elsewhere for something more reputable. Unfortunately I cannot return it since I save it for the right time and found out way later that it doesn't work.

Pros
  • 8 inches. Small wrench, works for my angle stops
Cons
  • The wrench may be too large or bulky to fit into certain toolboxes or bags

It's not Massive. - my new review

This Wrench is not the Massive one you see the Mechanics and Construction guys use. It's for mortals.That said. It's perfect for changing the Cylinders on Office Chairs and such. That's what I used it for. If it can handle that it's pretty strong. It definitely didn't feel cheap. No teeth shredding nor did it strip the metal.

Pros
  • Ii did the job for which it was intended.. Great ser of tools
Cons
  • It may not be effective on pipes with unique shapes or angles

Not a Great Wrench But Worth the Money

Not sure what some of the reviewers expected to get when spending $13 for a pipe wrench. I admit I was a little concerned since some reviews noted the wrench not even opening up, but I figured I could just return it if that happened, but.I had no such issues.I only needed this wrench for one job - to tighten some pipe fitting on an air compressor I purchased used and the pipe wrenches I have are too big to fit the space, so I really did not want to $20+ on a top-of-the-line model. This wrench…

Pros
  • Perfect handy little pipe wrench
Cons
  • The durability of the wrench may decline over time with frequent use
