LDR Industries 511 1210 Lock Nut Wrench Fits, 1" x 3"

It's made in Taiwan and it's cheap so don't expect that gorgeous Snap-On or Craftsman polish and fit. Still, though, for breaking loose or tightening that nut on the P trap under the sink there's nothing else out there quite like this. It's light, fits well, is much less cumbersome and light than a 15 inch adjustable wrench or pipe wrench. You pop this little sucker on and give it just a push and the nut is loose enough for you to run it right off by hand. Channellocks work too, but they're long and can be a bit of a pain in a tight space. For this one particular job this thing works really well.____________________________________________________________________________Sorry, changed my rating from four stars to two stars. The more I use this thing the less I like it. First, it's very tough to get it adjusted to the right size. When you snug down the wingnut it shifts the wrench jaws a significant amount. You actually have to overadjust or underadjust and then hope with wingnut shift puts it right. If the nut is on there tight this really doesn't give you enough length to break it loose. Having worked with this for a bit it does serve a purpose, but I reach for my Channellocks and my 15 inch adjustable wrench more than I reach for these.

I rebuilt my old toilet with this, and used it for the real huge plastic nut between the toilet tank and base, and it worked fine. I also used it for a few other things, but I mainly just bought it to do the toilet and the kitchen sink. It is a little weird to get adjusted, but it locks in place, and does the job. Great for someone who only wants to use a tool like this twice in their lifetime and doesn't want to spend a lot of money or is stretching a renovation budget.

If you need it - its critical otherwise it is basically useless -- poor, to useless, as a standard crescent wrench. In really tight spaces but if you are loosing a drain nut and have the room to swing the arm once the wrench is on the nut but not the room to fit the thickness of a standard crescent wrench or work with gentle caution with a pipe wrench then this might work - though the jaws have a tendency to not stay on the nut.

This is really quite poorly made, there is so much slop in the mechanisms that it is virtually impossible to get it adjusted to a proper snug fit that won't round the corners on the nut. Tightening the lock nut alters the width of the jaws making it a real PITA. If you can find a better made one that isn't too much more spend the extra cash. You can either spend the extra money when you buy the tool, or you can put it in your swear jar after you buy this.

This light weight tool is ideal for plumbing jobs like sinks drain, strains large nuts of w.c. The handle is enough short to work in confined spaces where torque is low. No for heavy jobs like auto, iron and steel tubes. Only for plumbing and plastic or PVC nuts.

Not a tool for daily use but it get the job done when your in a crunch. Ultimately your dealing with a Harbor Freight Quality tool.

For my purposes it suited the job. It is cheaply made but then again so was the price.So over all I'm satisfied

It's the kind of tool that , if you don't have it, you are so up the creek. You may not use it often, but you will regret it if you don't have it.Makes the job soooo stress free. Ever try to install sink parts without one?

Too loose to grip nut properly. No use for my DIY job.

Needed it to remove a seacock valve nut. Only used it once but it did the job. Any tool is worth the money ....even if you only use it once and it does the job

Great
