Adjustable stubby spanner - wrench - crescent
This tool I originally bought in China at a car-part wholesale
market in Shenyang about 8 years ago. I immediately liked its fine-machined feel
above the others being offered… and I brought some home. I've had a couple in
my trade-tool-tote (as has my brother) for all those years and I'm (we're) super-pleased
with it. The original lot all sold, but
I bought some more, when I went back this year in '24.
I am very fussy about what goes in my carry-tote as weight is
paramount… it really has to earn its keep…. And this one sure does.
Exactly the right size, the jaws are thin/narrow, sharp and very
fine, not-loose, parallel, also quite deep. They open really wide to 35mm, but
are just as at-home with a 6mm nut.
Very handily, you can also use it sideways (side-on at 90
degrees), as the tips are machined flat, and there is minimal slop… Most "Crescents"
have rounded end-edges which are really annoying and pointless.
The handle is exactly right, the whole thing just over hand-width size. The
strength-to-weight is spot on, so versatile and easy to flip about.
Goes into tight corners in cars where there’s no room… But also you’ll be using it in
plumber-situations like kitchen, bathroom… general handyman tool, square
nuts.
The handle is small yet powerful… the jaws well machined with
little slop… and it does right up to 35mm… .
I also keep one in the car in my “6 piece road-tool kit”… and, as I said
earlier, another one has a hard-to-win place in my primary trade-tote…
This has stood the test of time in a real trade-tote, and is
invaluable… I can't even imagine not having it… no more trying to use poxy
pliers incorrectly !! For the price, she's a pearler…
If you have any complaints or questions, simply ask me. I am an old ocker who has really used and
assessed these tools, I will reply in AU-English and address your concerns
(unlike these fake quasi-aussie chinese sites who talk complete gibberish, and
annoy the hell out of you with their nonsense replies)
POSTAGE… I am trying to help you here!! I can send it with a padded envelope for $6.20. But, with the back-card and blister, it goes over the 3 stamps 250g shoulder by 19g. Therefore, it is possible that some small-town di*-less post-office employees will try to fine you, for their skyrocket. If this happens let me know, Everyone pays a few cents towards a "di*-less fund", so I can cover the very few of these pedants' attacks.
More than one will be sent parcel tracked. I will refund some postage if you buy 3 or 4
To look for items in my shop,
navigation is easiest by clicking on the link “visit store”, (NOT “see
other items”) at top right area in any item….then click on the shop-categories
in the yellow box. Select the category of interest (THIS ONE IS CALLED TOOLS
AND TEST EQUIPMENT) and all items in that category will appear. It
is much easier than keywords. You can then see the other clips etc… or
them being sold in other ways if you want more of one than the other.
For
example "BRAKE" or "TRAFFICATOR whole"
or "LIGHTS" or "AXLES" or
"COOLING" etc etc
