I am a remodeling contractor on the weekdays and a shade tree mechanic on the weekends, after using this a few times, my conclusion is that this is a great tool to have on the job site as well as your toolbox! Give it a try! This is a perfect blend of the firm grip of a vice-grip paired with the versatility of a crescent wrench, in a pinch it replaces quite a few tools, it's great value for the money. Fit and finish is nice, not stellar, but plenty nice, seems like it will hold up plenty well. Tolerances are reasonable, once you snug the wrench up, lock it down and it's set, it hangs tight even on most damaged nuts and bolts. It's a bit more bulky than a regular adjustable wrench but not much more, it's perfect if you have space to work in.
It's Made in China - even I would prefer made in USA but I couldn't seem to track one down. Regardless, this is still very affordable and right up there with the quality level of comparable, mid/lower level, USA made adjustable wrenches. It's very much worth the $10 or so they are asking.
Note- some other reviews posted on here have me questioning the reviewer, seems to me like they were attempting to use this tool for a job that would be better suited for an entirely different tool. Doesn't seem to me like they were properly qualified for the task... Beware of some of the negative reviews, they only add confusion and mis-information.
