The wrench bailed me out before my first coffee break. I was able to get the wrenchвЂ™s thin head in the space and just turn the nut with the jaw tips. Those nuts usually come with a tube wrench of some sort from the factory, but there wasnвЂ™t one to be found. I had to tighten a small hex nut under a sink. And it proved its usefulness almost immediately. So in my toolbag went theВ Proferred Adjustable Plumbing Wrench. IвЂ™m rarely this eager to try out a new hand tool, but this one is promising.

I didnвЂ™t measure the depth as I did the width, but it looks to be accurate, as well. Fortunately, theВ Proferred Adjustable Plumbing Wrench is much deeper than those wrenches вЂ“ 30% deeper, in fact, the company claims. Proferred says it opens 55% wider than the competitionвЂ¦ and the math checks out! It means you can do more jobs with fewer tools which isВ usually a win вЂ“ if itвЂ™s effective.Дo you avoid those shallow wrenches that are petty gossips, always surrounded by drama? Me too. YouвЂ™re gonna need a bigger boat! The wrenchвЂ™s capabilities continue with jaws that open to about 1-1/2вЂі, much wider than the 7/8вЂі of a normal adjustable wrench in this size. ItвЂ™s easy to see how much easier it would be to use in tight and narrow spaces. But the Proferred is a slender 1/4вЂі or so. The head of aВ typical adjustable wrench of comparable length is at least 3/8вЂі thick. YouвЂ™ll immediately notice theВ Proferred Adjustable Plumbing WrenchвЂ™s very thinВ head.
