Adjustment froze upon first attempt trying to get a 1 inch nut off.

never let an amazon product sit for the return period. Always test it the second it comes in, otherwise youll be stuck with a useless hunk of iron like me.

Pros
  • Great value, very handy for small jobs.
Cons
  • May not have replaceable parts, difficult to repair

Piece of junk good for me

As another reviewer said, this is just a wrench shaped paperweight. Slips badly and cannot be tightened. Useless and a waste of money.

Pros
  • Was smaller than I had anticipated but so we'll made.and easy to use. Love this little wrench.
Cons
  • May require frequent oiling/maintenance to avoid rust and corrosion

So far so good. Paint leaves something to be desired.

For the price not a bad wrench. These are very well made. Heavy duty.! Only time will tell. If your looking for a lightweight wrench this is not the one.

Pros
  • These are very well made. Heavy duty.
Cons
  • Great quality and sturdy….but too small to use on anything

Kinda flimsy: my feedback

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
  • this is a beast, 18" massive torque without even needing a cheater pipe
Cons
  • May not be available in certain regions

Difficult to use good for me

My only issue with the product is how difficult it is to use in small spaces. It is huge and you can almost do nothing with it at places like under the sink when it is specifically designed for those spaces.

Pros
  • Love the color. Easy to use and perfect tool for the money!
Cons
  • May not fit in tight spaces due to its size

Good for light jobs

I’m no plumber or handyman myself, but this gets the job done when you need it. It’s one of those "right tool for the right job” types of thing. Honestly I only bought this to remove a gas lift strut from an office chair and failed because it was stuck in there for so long it failed to budge. But no discredit to the wrench, it does exactly as it’s supposed to. I’ve turned a few pipes with it so far and have had no issues. I don’t suspect this will last a long time, but see no issues with it for

Pros
  • Great item for the price, work well
Cons
  • May not be precise enough for intricate plumbing work

Awesome tool!: my feedback

I’m very happy with this pipe wrenches. It’s really easy to use and handy in tight places. Seems like it’s made pretty well and durable too

Pros
  • Perfect handy little pipe wrench
Cons
  • Limited scope of use, not suitable for general-purpose use

It’s just ok good for me

If you’re expecting a quality tool this is not it. It does not grab like it should. It worked for the job I bought it for but I would recommend investing in a wrench of better quality.

Pros
  • The DURATECH 10-Inch Heavy Duty Adjustable Plumbing Wrench is made with a malleable cast iron handle which provides a comfortable grip, even when working in wet or oily conditions
Cons
  • May not provide adequate leverage for larger plumbing fixtures

It’s a good wrench in my review

I needed a well built - strong - adjustable "monkey” wrench for one specific job. My old ones were buried under a pile of moving boxes. This wrench did the job, didn’t cost an arm and a leg, and hey, it’s blue. Good quality tool!

Pros
  • Works great in tight places.
Cons
  • May not provide enough leverage for stubborn nuts and bolts

Doesn't lock at width

Am I missing something? It isn't possible to tighten the nut and prevent the nut from moving between the upper and lower space so the size of the opening changes

Pros
  • I love the smoothness of the wheel, to adjust the size.
Cons
  • May be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces

Solid, heavy, and worked for my trailer hitch.

I didn't need a pipe wrench. I did need a wrench with solid leverage to tighten down a 2" nut on a trailer hitch. This worked great, I could throw my whole weight against it, and it was cheaper than a 2" deep socket.Plus with a couple of well-placed googly-eyes, it doubles as a puppetwrench.

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.

Does the job and seems to be solid!

Needed to persuade some large black iron 2" pipes and this did the job!Good bite on the jaws. Not light, but I wanted something heavy and tough!

Pros
  • Recommend. A tool that will always be unselfish
Cons
  • Cast iron handle may not provide enough grip in wet conditions

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
  • Solid
Cons
  • May slip off slick surfaces, potentially causing injury

Improperly molded, didn't work at all

Would be great if it were a wrench, but it's just a solid, aluminum paperweight shaped like a wrench. The adjustment ring is too tight and not molded correctly. I couldn't loosen or tighten it with a wrench, no pun intended. Worthless, do not buy. These molds are made to produce thousands of tools. Any kind of inaccuracy like this is 100% poor product design or production oversight.

Pros
  • Good quality works good
Cons
  • Missing adjustable knob
