This adjustable wrench replaces a full set of in. and metric open-end wrenches up to 2 1/2 in. (68 mm), making it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications. Its smooth, parallel jaws provide damage-free installation of plated fittings and can work directly on chrome surfaces without marring them. Designed for gripping, holding, pressing, and bending, the wrench applies zero-backlash jaw surface pressure to protect the edges of sensitive components. It features 24 adjustment positions that can be selected at the touch of a button directly on the workpiece, while a laser-etched metric and in. scale allows the jaw opening to be preset for accurate adjustments before use. The parallel jaws offer infinitely variable gripping within the maximum capacity, and the securely locking hinge bolt prevents unintentional shifting during operation. The jaw design also enables fast tightening and loosening of bolted connections using the ratchet principle, while a lever transmission ratio greater than 10 - 1 delivers exceptional gripping power. Constructed from forged, oil-hardened chrome vanadium electric steel, this wrench is built for strength, durability, and long-lasting performance.
