Let me start this review by saying that I do not use this wrench for large nuts. I use it mainly for plumbing fittings. It is great for things like 1″ copper NPT to sweat fittings, as well as things like black iron unions. It tends to work better then a pipe wrench for these fittings, and doesn’t leave marks on them.This is a hefty wrench. You can use two hands on it and really crank down on it if you need to. The jaws adjust smoothly, and have almost no play in them. I have seen more play is “bargain” 12″ wrenches. If you need a wrench for larger nuts, as well as plumbing fittings, this wrench will do a good job.

1-11/16 in. Standard Capacity Adjustable Wrench I have had this a couple of weeks it is a crescent wrench they are the best in my option for adjustable wrenches. It is well made and a size that if needed will do the bigger jobs like the nut on the trailer ball. I would recommend this to a friend. I currently have multiple sizes and love them. Would buy again.

Klein does it again. This is a solid wrench. The only wish on my list is that I wanted the mouth to expand beyond the beyond the 43mm mark. It holds position very well. I plan on using it to change out some over-oxidized handles on my water meter. 15 inches gives you great leverage when you need to torque an object down. What you can’t notice by simply looking at it, is that is has really good grip and is really ergonomic for your hands whether you choose to wear gloves or not.

This wrench is exactly as advertised. It has a 2-1/16” jaw width and 18” in length. It weighs between 4-5 lbs and solidly crafted. It adjusts easily without sticking. It will fit nicely in a tool chest, large tool box or hang on a peg board. It fits solidly on large bolts. If you need a large wrench this should fit your needs. It might be a little pricier than some but still fits with pricing in its class.

The 2-1/16 in. standard capacity adjustable wrench is as solid as you could ever want. This thing is solid and heavy but very well balanced so that it is easy to handle. The adjustable cylinder for opening and closing the mouth is very easy to operate and there is no slippage. The handle feels long which is great because you can really get a lot of torque with the extended reach. You can always fit a screw driver in the end to get even more torque but I don’t know that you would ever need it.

Nice wrench. A bit heavier and bulkier than may be necessary, but it’s a quality piece. The tolerances are reasonably tight, though with little effort a company like Klein should be able to remove most of the play from the lower jaw. But the adjustment screw is the smoothest I’ve felt. Perfect balance, well made and nice feel to the handle. The jaws stay at set opening, no lazy travel.

I love this adjustable wrench. I own a number of adjustable wrenches. None are the size and weight of this one. So many times I have run into a nut or bolt bigger than any of my open-end/box-end, or adjustable wrenches. This baby definitely can handle the big ones. Big 18″ handle and 2 1/2″ jaw opening. I would definitely recommend this wrench for those large size nuts and bolts.

This is one big mamba jamba adjustable wrench – 24 inch size, 2.5 inch jaw capacity. I have an 18 incher and wasn’t quite sure what I would do with one this big, but found it useful to counter hold a big plumbing fitting that I needed to tighten up. I like that the jaws are nicely machined and are very flat and parallel. It has a hole at the end of the handle to attach to a tether if needed.It is marked as Made in Spain.The only thing it doesn’t have that would be nice is scale markings to see what size the jaws are set to. not a big deal of course.

Before I got this wrench, the largest crescent I had was 1-3/4 opening. I can not remember how many times, I wish I had a larger opening jaw. This isn’t a wrench I use every day but when I need something bigger and do not have it on hand, it is frustrating. At work, it is important to get things repaired quickly. This thing is a little bulky and heavy but it does the job on many things from plumbing to heating. If you can get the jaws around it, this wrench will give you the horsepower to do the task. The jaws move smoothly and have no wobble. Great tool.

When I ordered this standard 2 1/2 inch adjustable wench, I was surprised when it arrived. For some reason I didn’t know that I was getting a pipe wrench.Once I started using it, it was easy for me to use. The jaws are easy to adjust. When I used in on my well installation, it made loosing and tightening fittings easy. If the one plumbing was stuck, this large wrench handled them with ease. My only drawback is that it is quite heavy.

Wow! This is a great tool for the BIG jobs! love its ease of adjustment and the size really makes a difference with using on the Big projects! love its monster size for giving me leverage and also grips nicely to the bolt or nut for getting a bite on it and using my strength . Great addition to my tool collection and seems like it will be tough enough to handle the big jobs.

Yes, this is a big, heavy adjustable wrench which weighs in at 8 lbs.. It’s 24 in long with a nicely tapered handle and will take nuts and bolts upto 2-1/2 in. capacity. This is the largest wrench that I have in my collection and I hung it up near my tool boxes because It won’t fit in the drawer. Yep. excuse to get a new 72″ tool cabinet because I also have several other large tools stored on the floor. This wrench is nicely forged high quality tool steel made in Spain for Klein Tools. I like this matte chrome finish on this tool as it looks good and has a nice feel. The worm drive thumb adjustment screw and gear teeth are precision machined without any sloppiness slack. This is a proud tool in my collection. My only gripe is what big tools cost.

I’ve owned probably a dozen or more adjustable wrenches over the years but never one as well-made as this 1-11/16 by 15 inch Standard Capacity Adjustable Wrench made by Klein Tools. The machine work and finish of this wrench is outstanding and it opens and closes as smooth as butter. Even the tapered shape of the handle bespeaks the extra thought that went into its design. I’ve included a photo of one of my old standard adjustable wrenches next to this one so you can see the difference in their quality. While this wrench is more expensice than your average adjustable wrench, its high quality should last a lifetime of use. Unlike most wrenches that are made in China these days, this is made in Spain.

This is a tool that falls under the category I call Buy Once, Cry Once. It is an expensive tool and cost about 2-3x the price I have paid for my current adjustable wrench of the range. And there is a reason. It is a quality machined tool. Listed at 2-1/16″, I opened just past 2-1/8″, so you might get it on one of those in a pinch.The price is about what I would expect for this quality of casting and machining. As you can see in the video, the screw mechanism has really nice meshing and only get about 1/8 of a turn extra motion in switching directions. I have no doubt this will last as long as I do, if I don’t abuse it.

Klein does it again with another professional tool that is a well-made and capable wrench for any big job. With a 15″ overall length and 1-11/16″ jaw capacity this can tackle any large bolt, nut, or similar. The forged design is sturdy but not too heavy, and the jaws open and close smoothly without sloppiness. The handle seems slightly tapered so you may be able to use a cheater bar, but not sure. Overall a highly professional tough wrench, this is the real deal!

If Crocodile Dundee were a plumber, he’d likely say, “Now that’s a wrench!” This thing is huge. The fit and finish are top notch, even in a tool that has been scaled up to enormous as has this beast. I concentrated my efforts on measurements for the wrench since it’s size may crucial for certain applications. Here are all of the dimensions I measured.2 1/2 in inside jaw opening 2 1/2 in depth on long side of jaw2 3/8 in deep on other leg of jaw1 1/8 in thick at base of jaw3/4 in thick at tapered ends of jaw1 1/4 in thick at thickest part of entire tool5 7/8 in wide with jaw fully open23 13/16 in full length5/8 in round opening for hanging tool

If you need an adjustable wrench for those heavy duty jobs, this Klein Tool adjustable wrench should be at the top of your shopping list. Heavy duty jaws, heavy duty adjuster with knurling, heavy all around. Nice long handle about 16 inches overall in length that’s very nicely polished to avoid burrs and fits in your hand well. This is a mans wrench, make no mistake about it.

This very high-quality Klein Tools adjustable wrench is made in Spain by Irega, who make high-quality adjustables that are rebranded by many of the best names in tools.This is a quality tool, through and through. Well-forged, well-machined. Hand-assembled. Very little slop in the jaws. This is a tool that will last you a lifetime, no question about it.

I am not a fan of using adjustable wrenches on anything big or small, probably due to being told as a boy to find the right wrench for the job. This Klein wrench has changed my mind for some things for sure. It is very well built and the jaw adjustment feels really good. The jaw slides well on the main body of the wrench and stays where you adjust it. I used it to install and remove tow balls of and on some hitches of different sizes, even put a piece of pipe over it to use as an advantage with no issues. This adjustable wrench is a keeper.

Decent quality but made in Spain. While I generally do not be a country of origin snob when it comes to tools, I feel in the case of this Klein Tools adjustable wrench, it should been made in the USA for the premium that is sought for it. That being said, still a decent adjustable wrench. Seems a little thicker in the beam and head compared to other adjustable wrenches, but I attribute that to it’s intended user base of industrial workers. Adjustment is smooth in action and wrench has minimal to no slip on larger fasteners when in use.
