15 BRANDS: Milwaukee, Craftsman (made in China) Craftsman (USA), Channellock, Hazet, Bahco, Tekton, Gedore, Reed Tool, Kobalt, Crescent, Klein Tools, Irwin, Pittsburgh, Wera Joker, and Navegando. Wrenches tested for resistance to self-adjusting during movement or vibration, wrench max torque before rounding ¾ inch nut, tool build quality both no load and under load, and failure load. I purchased all of the wrenches tested to ensure fair and unbiased reviews. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

I have been a mechanic for over 45 years and have tried almost every tool imaginable. I have to say that i still own vintage Craftsman tools and they are still performing well. i did take the plunge and purchase many Snap On and Mac tools throughout the years and they do look pretty and are very good as well but seem a little slippery when hands have any oil or grease on them. craftsman always had that rough finish from forging and were not near as slippery. Seat of the pants daily use of these tools allows me to feel the quality difference. Those China tools are knuckle busters and pros do not use them...well, shouldn't use them lol. Great video!

@skunkjobb 2 года назад

As a Swede, I'd like to point out that the modern type of adjustable spanner was invented by Johan Petter Johansson. A few years later, the Finnish-Swedish businessman Berndt August Hjort bought Johansson's factory and gave it the name BA Hjort & Co, now BAHCO. I'm sad to see their spanners are today made in Spain but at least it's not in China and some BACHO tools are still made in Sweden.

Bahco tools today appear to be a mix of widely varying quality and "feasibility" and unfortunately generally can not be recommended, but the 903x series of adjustable wrenches really are amazing, no other brand compares to those. Especially 9031P is a must have tool nobody should live without.

I have two adjustable shark jaw Bacho spanners which are Made in Sweden. I hold on to those tight since those can't be bought anymore.

Beside that, mostly shit comes out from Sweden nowadays.

@txshender 2 года назад

I really enjoy this channel as well, but I want to caution you on something as an engineering student. In many real world cases, there’s some non-negligible amount of uncertainty that goes into these measurements. For example, does that impact drill impart the same force each time? If not, what is the variance? Could that impact these downstream results? Long story short, statistics are very useful for understanding what a real measurement is from a single point of data. If you like this type of product testing, I’d encourage you to at least take an intro to engineering statistics as I found it really interesting for the practical application of e.g. validating an assembly line’s output for quality by measuring x samples in y total output based on a defect that has so far been seen in only z% of products.

I still have some of the tools from a Craftsman tool kit bought in 1967. Mostly ratchets, sockets and wrenches. I remember breaking one 1/2 inch drive sometime in the late 70's and they replaced it free at my local Sears. Adjustable wrenches include a Reed 12 inch, a Pittsburg 10 in and two 8 inch Craftsman (forged in USA). I don't do a lot of wrenching so these have lased a long time.

I checked my tools, and I have a Crescent brand 10" wrench made is USA. It looks to be very high quality in terms of precision, etc. But because I have a full set of metric and SAE wrenches, I have rarely used it in the 40 years I have owned it (but still in like new condition). I guess one of the advantages of being old is that I still have a lot of USA made tools.

Honestly the vintage Crescent (depending how you define vintage) would likely perform inferiorly than its Chinese counterparts. When Crescent moved to China they retooled all the wrench patterns, and although I think the steel quality could improve a bit the new patterns with tighter tolerances live up to the expectations. I agree with PF it is the best buy. Craftsman 🇺🇸 sadly is now a page for the history book.

For anyone who wants to know, Craftsman usa made adjustable wrenches, * shown in this video, were made by Proto(*Western.

In my opinion the craftsman/ Proto was/is the best adjustable wrench for the money.

@mikegraham7078 2 года назад

I use an adjustable wrench regularly. I have tried many, and my search ended when I tried the Milwaukee. For me, the single most important aspect is that it doesn't loosen off when you're using it. I try to surround myself with tools that don't make my life worse than they need to be. The frustration of having to constantly re-tighten an adjustable is far worse than paying $10 more for a wrench. If you're using a 10" adjustable to apply more than 900 pounds to the handle then you really need to re-evaluate your life choices. The 24" and 36" wrenches are used for applying that level of torque. The Milwaukee is an excellent all-around adjustable wrench.

@ProjectFarm 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing.

@iFixJunk 2 года назад

Yeah, I'm with you. I use a Crescent like the one in the video regularly, and I haven't had it loosen up either--like you say, I wouldn't be using it for the heavy-duty applications and it works just fine for the appropriate challenges. My 8" is a Brigade (not sure where it's made, found it on eBay), and it is actually pretty impressive. Sometimes you NEED them for worn-out fasteners and fittings that no longer really fit the correct wrench. Also, sometimes the wrenches with markings help you determine the size of regular open-end wrench you should get from your box!

@mikegraham7078 2 года назад

@@iFixJunk My preferred wrench for worn-out hex fasteners is the vise-grip locking wrenches made for the purpose - that have the narrow hex shape built into the jaws. They actually call them 'locking wrenches' instead of 'locking pliers' and the part numbers are, for instance, 10LW for 10" locking wrench.

@jesseback3536 2 года назад

Since you use one regularly let me ask you, do you also think the torque test he did place the wrench incorrectly (upsidedown) ? I Couldn't find any comments mentioning this. The contact point of the bolt is putting it's pressure higher up on the moving part of the wrench, giving maximum leverage to force the wrench apart.

@mikegraham7078 2 года назад

@@jesseback3536 I expect he did it that way because that's the only way you can reasonably do it with a force pressing down. If the rig had have been made up with the plate at an angle then the wrench could have been put on properly, but honestly I'm not that interested in finding out that the wrench can survive 1000 pounds on the handle because I am not 1000 pounds and I won't be applying such a ridiculous load to the wrench. It can handle way more weight than I am going to apply - that's what matters. Use a bigger wrench if you want to apply more than maybe 200lb-ft of torque. Just because the wrench can open to 1-1/4" doesn't guarantee that it is the Right Wrench For The Job to torque a 3/4" structural fastener that needs 300 or so lb-ft of torque. Even if you *did* want to apply the maximum torque for the maximum size of fastener that the wrench is able to hang onto you still would need no more than maybe 400lbs on the end of the handle, which any of these wrenches would be able to supply. I understand that 'strongest wrench' is something that people are interested in, but it's not a valuable metric for me, personally. If the wrench is 'strong enough' then the usability factors are far more important, and for me the biggest usability factor is not backing off. I want an adjustable that can be used like an open-ended wrench.

The part that bugs me the most is when the worm gear sticks in places. And it is always at the standard nut places, because that is where you applied force the last time. And because there is some back-off, it does not tighten all the way in those positions, or there is more slop. Slop and back-off are also very important, thanks for testing that. The ultimate breaking point, I don't think I care about beyond 400 lb or so. If I need that much force, I am using the wrong tool. Though, it is fun for the video. I wish you had checked how smooth the movement was after the 200 lb. And again at 300 lb. Maybe 100 lb too. I definitely would not want one that was not 100% undamaged at 100 lb. I don't care if that is subjective, that is what I would like to know.

I am very happy to see Hazet and Gedore on the videos, a bit (very) disappointed that they didn't ace everything... So I did some research, and I found out that there are some brands advertising they build predictive breaking behaviour into their metals alloys, trying to prevent serious injuries (or even death) to the user, in case of abuse/misuse or anything unexpected that might happen. I couldn't find out, though, if this kind of "expected to break around xyz% above the expected normative torques" is also written into the norms. I did find very interesting to see in the end that one or another brand market their stuff stating boldly "tolerances and quality that not only fulfils but greatly exceeds the norms", instead of going in the direction of "strongest tools you'll ever need" like the TV ads. i guess this is quite a change in viewpoint, and maybe the strongest one to hold may not be the best afterall. Gedore states in its catalogues that their proprietary vanadium alloy allows you to feel the tool deforming in your hands before it completely fails, (and I add this by my own personal experience here:) giving the user that split second enough of time to remove the bodyweight from the tool before it fractures itself, letting you fall down and hurt yourself on the floor... or worse, having the broken tool or a big screw poking deep into your skin.
