It's not necessarily just nuts and bolts. It's also pipe fittings and cable glands where you need decent jaw openings but won't need to apply huge torque.
Thing is the jaws of a traditional wrench will start to bend as you apply more torque, and might even break. With the pliers wrench, the more you torque it the more force it applies to the jaws thus preventing jaw separation.
It depends on the job. This is a completely different type of tool. It has smooth jaws that open parallel and work like an open end wrench. The other has teeth that dig in and grab. I have both and are great tools for the jobs I was them for, but I have never had a job that I could have used both for. It is always one or the other.
@@ShopRamblings it was a suggestion. You went out of your way to make a video on utube a tool that strips and brakes bolts isn’t vary appealing. A couple grade 8 witch are a few cents at any hardware store would fix that.
That's an impressive demonstration. Subbed.
Thanks
excellent review!

There are so many things I find these useful for.
Only downside is it takes two hands to adjust. Love em.
Yes. I want to get some of the larger ones. This is the small set, and it works great.
Traditional combination wrench is still easier to use in tight spots.
Great point!
Gotta carry a lot of wrenches to equal all the sizes these fit

It is surprising at how well they work.
How does this compare to the KNIPEX Pliers Wrench 8603180 model? Which one would be better?

You should do a comparison with the Harbor Freight version. Hey, $40 less for the 10in, so...?
That is a good idea.
A 3/8” bolt will take a 9/16” wrench .
A 1/2” bolt will take a 3/4” wrench .
Thanks
Use grade 8 and it won’t strip.
I don't have much need for grade 8 bolts in a wood work.
