Tools and Hardware Reviews of Stanley 85-610 10-Inch Long MaxGrip Locking Adjustable WrenchCustomer Review: If you only could have one wrench, this would be it. Summary: 5 Stars
I have to agree with most of the other reviews of this product. It is very useful and is made well. Its main advantage over a normal adjustable wrench is that it can be tightened with a grip of the handle to stay in place after you have removed your hand. Vise-grip type pliers will do the same thing but they have teeth that can mar or damage the finish or round the edges on the bolt or nut. I only wish they would make it in a 6 inch and possibly an 8 inch size. Even though the span of the 10 inch adjustable wrench can fit on bolts and nuts of a 6 inch or 8 inch wrench's span, you should generally use the size wrench that is best suited for the job. Otherwise, it is more likely that too much or too little torque can be applied to the bolt or nut, potentially causing damage to the threads or the shaft of the bolt, or potentially result a bolt or nut that will loosen and cause damage or injury.
I have only had this wrench for several months so I really cannot attest to its longevity. However, I do wonder whether the wrench after years of wear will continue to apply enough grip to stay on the bolt or nut because the amount of grip is not adjustable as with a vise-grip type tool that has a screw to adjust how tight the wrench will get. However, I would not reduce the 5 star rating on this wrench because of this hypothetical future issue. I said in the title to this review that this would be the wrench you should have if you could only have one wrench. Well, I have many wrenches and I find this wrench a superior tool that everyone should have. Hint: Christmas is coming.
