9031 Adjustable Wrench, 200mm Length

لم أستلمه

As someone who works with tools on a daily basis, this adjustable wrench it’s top notch. Easily is my favorite go-to wrench now. The weight balance is perfect. The grip is amazing and resists oils and dirt. The lash between the worm drive is finely machined. Bahco engineers and machinist were firing on all cylinders when this was made. It gets used daily for hydraulic fittings, battery connections, basically any time I need a wrench, I grab this Bahco. It just works. And feels great in the hand. I will buy another 2 for the mobile tool kit and the personal truck tool kit. I also found out that Bahco makes these for SnapOn! SnapOn will rebrand them and request Bahco put nice polish on them with a red grip for them to sell at 5x the price, but they are 100% one and the same. I know in my picture it’s not a total apples to apples comparison as I have the SnapOn slim jaw version. But clearly, it’s a Bahco. Don’t hesitate, don’t think about. Just buy it. Trust me, you won’t regret this

Works at presision

In total opposition to the Bahco Stilson wrench I've just reviewed that was a bit low end, here we have the tool that made Bahco what it is. The humble but ever so useful shifter. Or adjustable wrench for non marine engineers. And being a Bahco shifter you have in your hands the tool that generations of engineers have used to keep ships afloat and sailing from port to port. I don't think I'd be exaggerating to suggest that more than a few ships made it because the bloke in the sweaty boilersuit had in his back pocket a trusty Bahco shifter which nipped up the pipe or nut that would have stopped the job. I know I have. In marine engineering circles the Bahco has almost mythical status that is ingrained from the moment you step onto a ship as a cadet - at least when the UK had a merchant navy that is. The reason we love them so much is because they are near indestructible. Its no exaggeration to say that engineers on ships abuse tools more than anyone else, mostly because sometimes you have to. I've put a six foot pipe on a Bahco and used it to tighten a nut on a steam pipe with considerable force and not broken it. And they stay usable. One of the big differences between Bahco shifters and the weaker limp wristed stuff that they stand above is that even after being hammered you can still use the nut to adjust it easily. And if all goes really pear shaped change the movable bits. But, the big difference is the jaw width. On the near magical 9031 a number that engineers know and love - the jaws can open further than your mother in law when in full rant. Truly epic and bloody useful especially when you are trying to nip up pipe fittings. Trust me,when you have humped a bag of tools up 50m in a machinery space at 65C heat only to find that you don't have a spanner quite big enough it can be a heart breaking experience. This is why marine engineers grap a shifter or two as soon as they walk our of a control room on rounds. That tool in your back pocket could save you a lot of sweat. Where I've found this to be idea is on hydraulic pipework and fridge systems to be honest. The size of nuts often used are just bigger than a standard Bahco and this little lifesaver goes wide enough to be properly useful. So, if you are looking for a shifter then look no further. There is no better on the market no matter how shiny or expensive (Snap-On which jams).

Expensive wrench, but worth having. Was disappointed to find out it was made in Spain and not in Sweden, jaws don't perfectly line up, but otherwise it is sturdy, smooth and precise. Has metric marking on one side and SAE on the other, rubber plastic compound grip is just right, I used it for mechanics and electrician, from large heavy nuts to knock-out punch draw stud duty, but also for large locknut on control panels and pipes, etc. For the same price I got a set of 4 Irwin Visegrip wrench (6", 8", 10", 12"), but this is the only wrench I carry in my pouch, since it's lighter and opens as big as a 12" wrench, but takes only the length of an 8" one. It won't replace a hefty 12" wrench, but sure will make your back pocket lighter when you're on the job site or service call.

Nice
