Q: How did the tool function as far as saving you time?

A: By incorporating an unusually wide jaw set into a small-to-store tool, it’s like having multiple adjustable wrenches in one.

Q: How has using this tool impacted your shop’s profitability?

A: The tool reduces setup time, specifically MIG welding bottles and gauges.

Q: What kind of setup was involved before using the product?

A: There was zero setup, just unbox it and use it.

Q: How easy was it to use?

A: It’s an adjustable wrench; it’s very intuitive.

Q: What features did you like?

A: For sure the extra wide and extra deep jaws. The rubberized handle is nice and comfy too.

Q: What types of jobs/repairs did you use this tool for?

A: This is a tool for no precise fasteners like for welding bottle connections on MIG or TIG setup or switching oxy acetylene outfits. I also see value in hooking nitrogen test bottles up to AC systems. Basically, anything with standard fittings of most sizes this wrench will work well with.

Q: How does this tool compare to other tools you’ve used like it?

A: I own several different sized adjustable wrenches, but by far this one is way more versatile because of its adjustability.

Q: Is there anything you had questions or concerns about in regard to the tool?

A: None, the tool is quite user friendly and does exactly what it is designed to do.

Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate this tool overall? Why?

A: A solid nine. I think it’s a great tool and has lots of practical purpose. It’s not overly fancy and performs quite well.

Side note: While reviewing this tool, I had it sitting on my desk and a local distributor happened to notice it and mentioned he’s getting a lot of technicians asking for him to order them one. I’m not really surprised but am surprised something similar hasn’t been available sooner.
