This is one of the best hand tools I have ever bought. It replaces so many wrenches in my backpack. For me as a ventilation and air conditioning professional, this can save my life!
If you don't own it and operate a lathe, you're doing something wrong. Buy them and start doing it right. (Not recommended for pipes or rounded objects)
This thing is amazing! I'm a plumber and will never use an adjustable wrench again! This thing is quicker to set up and more useful than a regular adjustable one. Buy one you won't regret.
Convenient and comfortable to hold in hand. I find myself reaching out for them quite often. They're expensive, but you only have to buy them once to enjoy them. It's like a wrench and pliers. They also feel great in the hand.
Pliers always work, with no accidental slipping. Much easier to use than regular keys. The large size of the handle provides the necessary torque. I find it easy to work through to tightening the ferrules on 1/2" OD tubing. For larger sizes I recommend using a larger wrench.
Got this in addition to my 10 inch Knipex pliers wrench. Eventually I will add all sizes to my toolbox. The versatility of this tool has made my adjustable wrenches pretty much redundant. I like the ratcheting feature so you don't have to readjust the tool after each fastener rotation and the smooth jaws that won't scratch surfaces.
I have a 10" model of this tool and wanted a 12" model. The part number for the correct tool is 86 03 300. It can even be seen in the picture. this tool. The part number listed is 87 03 300 which is a Knipex cobra which is not what I ordered or what I wanted. Revain's partnership with UPS made it extremely easy to get a refund.
