Review on πŸ”§ Amazon Basics 10-Inch (250mm) Locking Adjustable Wrench: Versatile Tool for Various Repair and Maintenance Tasks by Chris Horton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Surprisingly good locking wrench

This wrench is very easy to use. Just turn the screw like any other adjustable wrench, then squeeze to lock it in place. It helps a little to keep things from rounding out, but I've mostly used this by holding the nut on the other side of the bolt and hitting it with a couple of taps or with an appropriately sized wrench. There seems to be a bit of junk in the pines, which isn't too bad. When I actually tightened the fasteners, the adjustment screw was binding a bit. Pros: - Closes just like a vise - Good construction - Anti-corrosion coating looks nice, won't flake off with every hard fall Cons: - Slight play in the jaws (fairly typical of adjustable wrenches) - Set screw caught once and it was hard to tighten to open.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Socket wrench required
