Unrealistic speed test. You didn’t move the adjustment on the crescent wrench the wrong way, every single time, before making the right adjustment, only to find out you’ve now gone too far. You also didn’t drop the crescent wrench, then forget which way you have to move the adjuster and go the wrong way again.
I have 2 pairs of pliers wrenches (7&10in) and I love them. However, we aren’t gonna shit on the adjustable (crescent). Don’t ever forget where ya came from!
Small skill issue with the pliers wrench. Once you get good at both of them the pliers wrench will always be much faster. But if you fumble it around then yeah it’ll be about the same speed.
On a serious note, the pliers wrench takes slightly longer to adjust but if you have to do more than 2-3 turns in a cramped space it is night and day better
I have the pliers wrench in multiple sizes and is my favorite one, but after the cobra which is the most used one. Adjustable wrench is rarely used. But I always carry a hammer. In the past I used my pliers as a hammer and after that they were sticking and the rivet was damaged. So I learned a lesson.
Yea I hardly use my adjustable now channel locks are just more convenient. There’s times where the adjustable does a better job but the ease and speed of channel locks make it better
Slightly misleading imo, Crescent brand adjustable wrenches are not the best, compared to a set of pliers from a pretty top tier brand doesn't exactly feel apples to apples to me.
This is so stupid anyone in a real maintenance field and actually knows what their doing is either gona use a nut driver, socket etc to tighten it loosen fasteners in this fashion and i say maintenance because maintenance is a broad field ranging from a plumber electrical to industrial maintenance. If I got caught struggling or wasting time like this my department lead would probably question my IQ.
Industrial maintenance electrician/milwright here I can fix 80% of the problems I come across in my plant (2 buildings and six 7 story ovens) with an adjustable and a multi bit screwdriver. If my boss saw me dragging my toolbox to every job... the other 20% of the time I'll bring my box and the right tools.
He means it would be a much better test with practical results if you do it in a real-world situation instead of drilling a bunch of holes in a 2by and setting some bolts in it.
Love my pliers wrench, but have to admit I tried for ages to not use it as a hammer but last week I had no tools on the plot I was working close to hand apart from the knipex, I was lazy and it got used 🤣🤣
@@ParklanCustomIt works alright as a hammer. Just have it set to a larger jaw size so you don't fuck it up. It won't do much, but for a little persuasion it'll be fine.
there are several applications that call for using a hand tool to tighten bolt connection through wood. Impact drivers aren't always the best choice as they can over tighten and damage the wood depending on the application. Rough framing impact drivers works fine.
Crescent wrench don't hold up to pliers wrench. I'll never probably buy another crescent wrench again now that I have almost all sizes Cobras and pliers wrenches.
Use those tools on bolts that are fastened into steel that are tightly secured. You were cheating with the knipex and not adjusting it to get maximum grip and torque. I bought one of these at work because of the hype. It takes more time to get optimal grip and torque i usually end up readjusting twice to get it on the right setting.
but man you really need a tighten this up man your wrench wrenching abilities is not wrenchy enough everyone that's a wrencher that knows anything about wrenching nose this
