Reddit reviews Stanley 85-610 10-Inch Long MaxGrip Locking Adjustable Wrench

Hey! Amazon sells them so you can fuck your own nuts in the privacy of home.

Mine are Stanley brand from Amazon, and Sears sells a Craftsman model that appears to be similar. Obviously these are both US sellers but I'd think they're also available in Europe either under one of those brands or another.

Huh, you're right. That seems like it'd defeat the purpose.

The Stanley ones definitely have smooth jaws.

This thing is magical. Tons of uses you didn't know you needed it for. You won't use it every day, but when you do use it, you'll wonder how you got by without it.

The Stanley version is very well rated.

I'm okay with this one.

the wrong tool for any job!

this on the other hand, is a good tool when you can't find the goddamn 1/2" socket...why does the 1/2" always go missing? every socket set should come with 3 of them.

Related question are the locking ones any good ? Link www.amazon.com/Stanley-85-610-10-Inch-MaxGrip-Adjustable/dp/B00009OYGZ

• A bike toolkit - I have a Nashbar one But I think Bikehand one's is better. The chaintool in Nashbar one was a garbage. Bikehand's chaintool is outstanding. Cone wrenches, etc. in the Nashbar's has no handle coating, etc. I also have a couple of ther Bikehand tools and all are pretty good.
  
• Repair stand - Feedback sports
  
• T-handle hex wrenches, Metric - Allen
  
• Combination wrenches, Metric - Husky from Home Depot.
  
• Adjustable wrench, 10" - Stanley - very convenient
  
• Ratchet wrenches, Metric - Harbor Freight, eBay
  
• Torque wrench - Nashbar.com
  
• Table top vice.
  
• Grease - progold
  
  EDIT: About the stand - There are many cheaper options but go with Feedback sports. The clamp by screw is far better than quick-release. Also cheap stands are really cheap while Feedback Sport's stand is all metal and very solid. Don't skimp on the stand.

I bought two.. Couldn't be happier

These are my two uncommon but frequently used tools, This guy cause I hate carrying around tons of nut drivers https://www.amazon.com/Driver-NutDriver-Klein-Tools-32800/dp/B01I0QVP18
And this one because I do a lot of bucket truck work and often need to use an adjustable but they get loose and sometimes dropped.

I got mine from Princess Auto, which is a Canadian chain something like Harbour Freight. They have a surplus section where all kinds of neat things show up from time to time.

Stanley makes one with a conventional handle. A spud makes using a cheater easier, but at least Stanleys don't have a bulb at the handle end.

This thing is great for holding a nut behind something .

Did anyone notice the price on Amazon compared to Walmart

Adjustable wrenches have some perfectly valid uses. Holding the backside nut of a bolt your are tightening, for example - nice low torque use case. Also great for certain uses in bicycle repair (gripping freewheel removal tools and such).

If you want one that can handle some real torque, try this one. https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-85-610-10-Inch-MaxGrip-Adjustable/dp/B00009OYGZ

The problem comes in that there's lots of jobs they are NOT suitable for.

I posted something similar a while ago, you might find some more information there. Basically it's supposed to work very well with rusty and already fucked nuts and also double as vise grips in a pinch (pun not intended)

Here's a Stanley one on Amazon.

Always buy these:

They are always the correct answer.
