Irwin Industrial Tools 2078605 10-Inch SAE Quick Adjusting Wrench
These wrenches are very good; however, it’s important to note that—unlike a traditional adjustable wrench—the jaws are NOT infinitely adjustable within their 1-1/4″ range of motion. Instead their range is divided into pre-defined 1/16″ notches. This system accounts for the wrench’s excellent holding properties on US/English objects. But, it means that the wrench will NOT hold tightly on metric sized objects.
Irwin has come up with what is truly the best designed adjustable wrench ever. First off fit and finish are superb, justifying its higher price. What really sets it apart is the locking mechanism they have come up with. Little teeth lock the settings in place and with the release of the spring switch you can easily change to another width and it stays put. Also has a quick size adjustment where you fully open the jaws, then squeeze fit to the nut, and presto its set and stays there. No more fumbling with those silly thumb screws that constantly drift off size. Another plus is the rubberized handle that is both comfortable as well as functional with its firm grip. This will definitely be the one you grab to use.
