The most major adjustable wrench manufacturer in Japan It's "Lobtex". Makita is a power tool manufacturer, not a hand tool manufacturer. I wanted you to go with "Lobtex" if you want to compare
Sadly they are not the same superb quality as when they were made in Enköping Sweden...... Its the same with their screwdrivers.......i guess the Special steel made by Sandvik was to expensive for Snap-On that owns the brand Bahco nowadays. 🥺
The lobster is considered a "light weight wrench", maybe the KTC. 🤷 Also it's kinda sad that only sk and milwuakee still make adjustable wrenches in the usa. 🥲
senseless destruction, each of these tools could serve for 50 years ! I have a 70-year-old wrench that was used by my grandfather and is still in use ...
Where are you getting 783 for Taiwan? I know YOU put on the screen that it was 783, but the reader clearly said 683. How was the same mistake made twice?
Doesn't really matter which wrench you have, you'll never be able to spread the jaws applying force by hand. It's only when you start using bits of pipe or a hammer on them that you'll notice any difference, which is not what they are designed for anyway!
In the Netherlands is this tool commonly known as a “Bahco”, named after the most used brand here. I’m a bit surprized that this particular brand wasn’t part of your testpanel?
An interesting video but. let's be honest, you couldn't apply hundreds of kilos of force to an adjustable wrench in any practical application, so they were all easily strong enough. Usually, the biggest problem with these wrenches is getting them in to the available space.
How about situation where you have to use an extension, like a 1 meter tube? Personally I’ve never trust an adjustable wrench to be strong enough for this, anyway, there is too much « flex » in the mechanism to ensure a good grip
@@sebcam9498 Never underestimate the (brain) power of your average worker. You can fix a chain on the wrench and pull it with a stock wind that lifts several tonnes.
I couldn't watch as the adjustable wrenches were mounted upside down! Force needs to be applied whilst pushing the load instead of pulling the load which easily damages the adjustment mechanism. You should repeat the test using the wrenches with the correct side up!
I’d like to see Crescent, Proto, Craftsmen, Bahco, Snap on, and Armstrong adjustable wrenches tested as well….I’ve got Wright, Channelock, Mac and others, but they last because I take care of the tools. Thanks for the test.
I remember i had a half inch stainless steel plug stuck in the instrument holder because somebody did not use teflon tape. In the workshop nobody could get it out with a wrench like this. I put a foot up and pulled with all my weight and 120kg of myself and with a screeech it started moving. hehe. Became hot too.
The test presses on the middle of the handle. That means you can break it by roughly half the force pressing at the end side, which 125 kg is not that hard to exceed.
@@jyunnheikusada7003 You ain’t putting 125kg on the tip of the handle, without risking injury. And who is going to use a wrench on a nut with that sort of torque?
@@Enzo661100 That is what Taiwan do best, but Taiwan also has wide variety of industries. I used to know that we export lots of hand tools, but I always thought that is because of the value is good. Not aware that the quality is also pretty good.
DEFINITIVAMENTE ESAS COMPANIAS DEVERIAN DE PAGARTE POR ESTAS PRUEVAS QUE HAS HECHO, AHORA SABEN CUAL HERRAMIENTA ESCOGER PARA CUALQUIER TRABAJO FELICIDADES POR ESTO.
No hay una comparación en esta prueba, ya que prueba una herramienta de 5 de Rusia contra una de 45 de Estados Unidos, eso genera una idea falsa de que lo de Estados Unidos es mejor que lo ruso, pero el precio dice otra cosa.
Bonjour, très instructif comme expérience mais normalement ce type de clé s'utilise dans l'autre sens, la force doit s'exercer le plus près de l'articulation pour diminuer le bras de levier
I would like to see Urrea from México 🇲🇽 among the adjustable wrenches tested here, I know that not only would it is a worthy competitor but it could very well win.
This test is not feasible. There is a difference between the strength of the metal and its hardness. It is not a known criterion. The more the hardness of the metal is subjected to fracture more than the ductile metal.
