Product Information
Full details
The Laser Tools Parrot Nose Grip Wrench (8500) is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need a versatile tool for gripping a wide range of fasteners, especially those that are rounded or difficult to access. Its key benefit is its adaptable jaw opening up to 28mm and specialized saw teeth for secure holds, preventing damage to surrounding components. A potential caveat is that its specialized design might be less suitable for standard, perfectly hexagonal nuts compared to a traditional wrench.

FAQs
What is the maximum jaw opening of this wrench?
The maximum jaw opening is 28mm.
What materials is the wrench made from?
The wrench is manufactured from durable chrome molybdenum steel.
Can this wrench be used on standard hexagonal nuts?
Yes, it can be used on standard nuts, but it is particularly effective on rounded or damaged nuts and other shapes like tubing and threaded bar.
What is the overall length of the wrench?
The overall length of the wrench is 215mm (approximately 8 1/2 inches).
How do I adjust the grip on a fastener?
You can adjust the grip by turning the knurled adjustment screw located on the wrench body.
Is this tool suitable for high-torque applications?
This tool is designed for gripping and turning, but for very high-torque applications, a standard socket or wrench might be more appropriate. Always use caution and appropriate force.
How should I clean and maintain the wrench?
After use, clean the jaws and mechanism of dirt and debris. Apply a light oil to the adjustment screw threads and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Wrench slips during use
Ensure the jaws are fully closed on the fastener and the knurled screw is tightened firmly. Check that the saw teeth are clean and engaging the surface properly. For very smooth materials, additional pressure may be needed.
Adjustment screw is stiff or difficult to turn
Clean any debris from the screw threads and the mechanism. Apply a small amount of penetrating oil or lubricant to the threads and work the screw back and forth until smooth.
Jaws do not open or close fully
Inspect the jaw mechanism for obstructions or damage. Ensure the fastener being gripped is within the specified 6-28mm range. If damage is suspected, cease use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip on rounded or damaged fasteners.
- Wide jaw opening range (6-28mm) for versatility.
- Durable chrome molybdenum construction.
- Prevents damage to surrounding components due to secure grip.
- Useful for gripping tubing and threaded bar as well as nuts.
Cons
- May be overkill for standard, easily accessible fasteners.
- Specialized design may require a slight learning curve for optimal use.
- Not intended for high-torque applications requiring a standard socket or wrench.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The wrench requires no complex setup. Simply slide the adjustable jaw over the fastener, align the jaws, and turn the knurled screw to tighten the grip. Ensure the saw teeth are making solid contact with the surface for optimal holding power.
Compatibility: This wrench is compatible with fasteners and objects ranging from 6mm to 28mm in diameter, including standard nuts and bolts (especially if rounded), tubing, threaded rods, and track rod ends.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity, clean the jaws and adjustment screw after each use to remove dirt and debris. A light application of oil to the adjustment mechanism can prevent stiffness. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust. Avoid exposing the tool to excessive impact or using it with power tools, as this can lead to premature wear or breakage.
