I have several Bacho adjustable spanners ( this style of 'wrench'). They are over 25 years old and still going strong. My 8" has reversible jaw which has teeth on the underside, grips rounded nuts. Excellent idea
I own the 8 knch bahco and there is a lot i like about it. Howeve, the long jaws are a little more difficult to use as opposed to the standard jaws, which are stubby. You notice it when you use the wrench a lot. Furthermore, the jaws tend to slio and need to be tightened a lot. I imagine they wont do that as much as the wrench gets olderr and devolops some grit in the adjustable area. Its a nice wrench but old vintage wrenches are the best in my opinion.
Nice wrench, I almost bought the 9031T which is the same but has even more slim jaws, but I already own the klein slim wide jaw 8" with the blue handle. I ended up getting the 10" Channellock Code Blue 10WCB because they open to 2 1/8". Pretty sure bahco, channellock, and klein are made in the same factory in spain.
Yeah the 8” is the one to have. Channellock code blue is a good option too which I think you have. I like the grip and grip size on the Bahco. Thanks for the feedback! 👍
I went to pick one up, but for some reason Amazon doesn’t ship to California. I currently own several of the Kleins & ChannelLocks, different sizes and jaw configs. Pretty sure the ChannelLocks are made by Irega in Spain. I think same might be true for the Kleins. And both are pretty dang snazzy, and I actually grab for these more than my assortment of Knipex Pliers Wrenches…
Amazon doesn’t ship the Bahco to California? The Kleins at Lowes with orange grips are made in South Korea. They likely have other models made in Spain. Thanks for watching! 👍
The Channellock code blue is a good wrench also made in Spain. I like that wrench too. Does it open a little wider? Online they show it opening 34mm and 1.34”. I like the grip and the taper on the Bahco better.
Как обслуживать ключ , если винт не выкручивается? Там ведь пружина стоит и в течении времени туда набивается мелкая пыль вследствие чего механизм регулировки может подклинивать . Отвертка с хорошими гранями ,подходящая по размеру , но винт как прикипевший.
they regularly go on sale for 25… you saved 3$ be careful ordering now a days they have figured out the analytics of marking up prices and flash sale items at “normal sale price”
@@projectpinehills Not every size no but I have a spanner holder that has metric sizes from 7-24mm. which covers most things on the fork trucks I work on, so it’s one thing to grab. As an apprentice I wasn’t allowed to use adjustable spanners, mainly I believe to force you to learn sizes and be able to identify sizes of fastener at a glance, and the spanner to fit them. A good approach I think, and something I carried on with my own apprentices over the years. I started in 1975 and everything was of course imperial then, so ended up having to do the same with metric! 😂 Pretty much everything is metric over this side of the pond now, but there was a time in the 90s when machines were a mixture of both systems. Actually some used BSP on hydraulic fittings so that was 3 systems! 😂 Probably the main reason though is adjustables are often too bulky to fit into awkward places, of which fork trucks have many. Combination spanners are most commonly used I’d say, or sockets.
I hate every adjustable wrench I own. Even the top rated ones.. In fact I’ve removed them as well as standard pliers from my bag and use knipex or channel locks only. Tired of wasting my money. It seems every one has some sort of play and spinning the worm nut is aggravating. The best thing they do is round off the bolt…
