You have probably had to remove a fastener only to find out that you do not have the correct wrench size in your toolset, and you know how frustrating this is. Having a set of adjustable wrenches comes in handy as it helps you to avoid complications and waste of time.
You can use adjustable wrench sets for a wide variety of tasks such as motor repairs, general assembly, plumbing, and other DIY projects. If you have decided to buy a set of adjustable wrenches, we have prepared a guide to help you familiarize yourself with the must-have features you should consider before buying.
Adjustable Wrench Sets: Features That You Need To Consider
1. Handle:
When buying your adjustable wrench set, the handle length and width are things you need to contemplate. The length of the handle determines whether you will be able to have a good grip on the tool. Go with an adjustable wrench that has a handle that is long enough to give a good grip. The width and thickness will determine the amount of torque and leverage that you can get from the tool. Another thing to look for is an ergonomic handle to reduce hand and arm fatigue while working. The Olsa Tools adjustable wrenches come with wider handles compared to other wrenches in the market, giving you more comfort during the job.
2. Durability and Warranty:
Having a durable tool should be the first priority for both professionals and DIYers. This is often related to the material the tool is made from. When buying your adjustable wrench look for alloy steel with a rust-resistant coating, Chrome or nickel-plated wrenches provide a good level of rust resistance. Ours are built using chrome vanadium steel to give you industrial-grade quality and the peace of mind that your tool will last a lifetime of heavy-duty use. Also, in order to support our claims of professional quality and give you more peace of mind, our wrenches are backed by a standard 100% satisfaction guarantee and limited lifetime warranty.
3. Size, Dimensions & Purpose:
If you are looking for a portable adjustable wrench, consider buying one that is not too big but still is capable of doing the required job. Every professional toolbox generally should have three types of adjustable wrenches: 6-inch, 8-inch, and 12-inch wrenches. Smaller adjustable wrenches are a good option for DIY enthusiasts although professionals sometimes may need a small adjustable wrench for accessing hard-to-reach places. At Olsa Tools you can find both, an individual 8” wrench and a 4 piece wrench set (6", 8", 10" and 12") to satisfy the needs of any mechanic or DIYer.
4. Jaws:
If you are dealing with large-size nuts and fasteners look for an adjustable wrench that has extra-wide capacity. With this type, you can deal with larger types of bolts and nuts. These wrenches have really versatile wide jaws (1-1/2" or 38mm, 1-5/16" or 33mm, 1-1/8" or 29mm, 15/16" or 24mm), ensuring that you have the tool for any project no matter how big or small is.
Extra Features:
Another thing to look for is a low-rattle mechanism. You won’t find any other adjustable wrench set with this feature in the market. The Olsa Tools adjustable wrenches have a patented low-rattle mechanism to avoid the frustration of accidentally changing the knurled adjustment and ensure it always stays put.
Adjustable wrenches are perfect tools for multi-tasking and a good addition to every toolbox. Whether you need an individual wrench or a complete set, all Olsa Tools hand tools come with a standard limited lifetime warranty with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a 90-day risk-free return policy, so shop with the peace of mind that your adjustable wrenches will have the quality that you are looking for.
