Q: How did the tool/equipment function as far as saving you time?
A: The offset of the boxed end of the wrench is helpful. There is more depth there which can be helpful if working with a recessed fastener.
Q: How has using this tool impacted your shop’s profitability?
A: When compared to using another brand of combination wrenches, the offset boxed end is an advantage that can save you time.
Q: How was its packaging? Did it come with any accessories?
A: I received three wrenches. Each wrench had a plastic hanger which I assume is used for displaying the wrench in a retail store or in a distribution warehouse. They didn't come with any accessories.
Q: What features did you like?
A: I like that they're lightweight, have a comfortable feel, and matte finish.
Q: How could the tool be improved?
A: The lightness may give a user the impression that they might be made of a cheap material and will not be a long-lasting product. If they do last, I don’t have anything negative to say other than they may give a user the impression that they are made with less material and may not be a lifetime wrench in a professional environment. Also, when you see Chrome Vanadium engraved, laser etched, or embossed into a tool, it traditionally has meant that you have yourself a cheap tool. I would recommend removing that from the tool.
Q: What types of jobs/repairs did you use this tool for?
A: I was able to do several wheel alignments with the sizes of wrenches we received. I also used them to remove the PCV system on a Volkswagen for a visual inspection due to a valvetrain noise.
Q: How does this tool compare to other tools you’ve used like it?
A: These wrenches are lightweight and have a matte finish which makes the wrench comfortable in your hand. The offset box end can be helpful when working with fasteners in recessed areas.
