[SML] Tool nerd alert. C-Wrenches tested and compared.

[Duncan Mahoney]

I just got around to watching the video today.  It's certainly a thorough comparison.

However, he applies the wrench to the nuts backwards compared to the way I was taught.  I was told to apply the wrench so the force was close to the worm gear on the moveable jaw and away from the worm gear on the fixed jaw when using high torque on a nut.  Was I taught wrong or has that bit of "old person" tool knowledge been lost?


"This has to be the best comparison of adjustable wrenches I've ever seen.
It's just under 20 minutes. Enjoy. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://youtu.be/cyOd05PUix4__;!!LIr3w8kk_Xxm!8jNpAl7D7Mg-Uk3pYF1CGLxNhFwdS1sR-K25e6cCxIlqdHmpoIXIcXVXNbqSQJE$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/youtu.be/cyOd05PUix4__;!!LIr3w8kk_Xxm!8jNpAl7D7Mg-Uk3pYF1CGLxNhFwdS1sR-K25e6cCxIlqdHmpoIXIcXVXNbqSQJE$> "
