What is the maximum opening size of the jaws?

How do I switch between the straight and serrated jaws?

To switch functions, rotate the straight jaw. This action reveals the serrated angled jaw.

Can this wrench be used for plumbing and automotive tasks?

How should I maintain the wrench for longevity?

Keep the wrench clean and dry. Periodically lubricate the adjustment mechanism with light oil and inspect the jaws for wear or damage.

Troubleshooting

Wrench jaw is stiff or difficult to adjust

Clean the jaw mechanism thoroughly with a brush to remove debris. Apply a small amount of penetrating oil to the adjustment screw and slide, then work the jaw back and forth until smooth.

Soft grip handle feels sticky or degraded

Wipe the handle with a damp cloth. Avoid using petroleum-based solvents or cleaners. If significant degradation has occurred, professional replacement might be considered for heavy-duty use.

Jaws do not grip fasteners securely

Ensure the correct jaw face (straight or serrated) is selected for the fastener type. Check for any debris on the jaw surfaces. If jaws are significantly worn or damaged, the wrench may need replacement.
