#8: TEKTON 2310 8-Inch Adjustable Wrench
#9: JH Williams 13408 Chrome Adjustable Wrench Set, 8-Inch
#10: Titan 208 8" Adjustable Wrench
Objective:
My objective is to find a good quality adjustable wrench. I've chosen to look at 8 inch adjustable wrenches to keep the purchasing cost reasonable. I imagine I will also acquire the corresponding 6, 10 and 12 inch models of the one I choose. I define a good quality wrench as having:
1. Smooth mechanism that doesn't grab when turned
2. Jaws that stay fixed, have minimal wobble and stay parallel
3. Smooth machining of tool with no sharp edges
I chose these adjustable wrenches as examples of both USA produced and internationally produced wrenches, including some so-called industrial brands. I also added into the group an old Craftsman wrench I have (#7). I did not purchase #1, #3 and #7 on Amazon.
Properties of the adjustable wrenches:
#1: Urrea 708: 262g, 24.7mm opening, made in Mexico
#2: Channellock 808W: 256g, 31.9mm opening, made in Spain
#3: Klein 507-8: 219g, 29.5mm opening, made in USA
#4: JH Williams AP-8A: 256g, 28.6mm opening, made in USA
#5: Bahco 8071-R-US: 260g (with cardboard label), 28.2mm opening, made in Spain
#6: Ridgid 758: 265g, 28.2mm opening, made in USA
#7: Craftsman 8" (approx 10 years old): 266g, 29.3mm opening, made in USA
#8: Tekton 2310: 232g (with label), 26.3mm opening, made in China
#9: JH Williams 13408: 285g, 30.2mm opening, made in China
#10: Titan 208: 257g (with label), 25.1mm opening, unknown country of origin
Initial impressions:
#1: Urrea 708: 3/5 for smoothness, 3/5 jaw wobble, sharp finishing near jaws. Urrea used to be the Mexican arm of the industrial tool brand Proto. My rating: 2 stars.
#2: Channellock 808W: 5/5 smoothness, 3/5 jaw wobble. Made by Irega, a well regarded manufacturer of adjustable wrenches in Spain. Seems to be less expensive to purchase the Channellock versus the corresponding Irega model. My rating: 5 stars.
#3: Klein 507-8: 5/5 smoothness, 4/5 jaw wobble, short jaws, lightest weight. Interesting history, evidently Klein wrenches started off as a licensed version of a premium Japanese brand of adjustable wrenches. My rating: 5 stars.
#4: JH Williams AP-8A: 4/5 smoothness, 2/5 jaw wobble, body casting not smooth. My rating: 2 stars.
#5: Bahco 8071-R-US: 4/5 smoothness, 3/5 jaw wobble. As I understand it, if you purchase a Snap On adjustable wrench, it's a rebadged Bahco. Evidently these used to be made in a factory in Sweden and I've seen it said that there was a drop in quality when production was moved to the Spain factory. My rating: 4 stars.
#6: Ridgid 758: 4/5 smoothness, 3/5 jaw wobble. My rating: 4 stars.
#7: Craftsman 8" (approx 10 years old): 2/5 smoothness, 2/5 jaw wobble. My rating: 2 stars.
#8: Tekton 2310: 4/5 smoothness, 3/5 jaw wobble. My rating 3 stars.
#9: JH Williams 13408: 4/5 smoothness, 2/5 jaw wobble. My rating 2 stars.
#10: Titan 208: 2/5 smoothness, 1/5 jaw wobble. My rating 1 star.
Verdict:
The worst wrench in my opinion was #10, the Titan branded wrench. I measured the jaw sloppiness to be 50% more than any other wrench in my comparison. My other least favorites were the Urrea and both of the JH Williams. My favourites were the Channellock and the Klein closely followed by the Bahco. I bought the black phosphate version of the Bahco due to the cost of the chrome version being too high. The Channellock are made by the well regarded Irega company in Spain. Based on the WF stamped on the wrenches, I believe three of the USA wrenches are made by Western Forge (#4, #6, #7). Out of the three Western Forge wrenches, I think the Ridgid is the nicest. The older Craftsman is less smooth than I remember, probably since it's not a new wrench. Ultimately I think I would be happy with the Channellock, Klein, Bahco and Ridgid in that order.
Final Thoughts:
I prefer a smoothly operating tool. If the Klein had longer jaws and was less expensive it would likely have been my choice (and still would be perhaps if weight was a big priority like for a portable tool bag). However given all the factors, including value for money, the Channellock (Irega) is the one I kept. I also suggest the Knipex pliers wrenches ( Knipex 8603180 7-Inch Pliers Wrench ) as a premium (and expensive) alternative to adjustable wrenches.
Follow up:
Ordered a replacement and the same issue was present also in this second unit. I'm now wondering why?
Anyway. I returned this second unit. So far Amazon has not given me the money back. They are waiting to receive these two wrenches.
As far as I can see Amazon is not happy with these returns and it is playing hard with a client that have purchased for many thousand of dollars since 2001.

I read reviews on this wrench and I haven't been disappointed. I have a Knipex Plier Wrench in my onboard motorcycle toolkit. It is probably a little more precise in the jaw adjustment but the jaws are not as wide and beefy as this wrench. As always, if you have a proper fitting wrench on hand, by all means take the time to use it. Your nuts will thank you. If you need an adjustable "crescent-type" wrench you can't go wrong with this one.
I try to purchase tools from American companies to help keep my fellow Americans and Pennsylvanians (Channellock is a PA company) working.
Top reviews from other countries
However, from using this product I can conclude there are two reasons to want/need this particular product:
-You want an adjustable wrench which has better-than-average build (in terms of the standards of quality).
-You need an adjustable wrench which has a larger-than-average maximum jaw width (for its length).
The mechanism is really smooth and there is no 'play' in the adjuster. The actual product feels like it will last a hell of a lot longer than cheap similar products; which you'll inevitably spend more on in total than just buying this one.
I use it mainly for bike repairs. Its jaw width means It will attach to the freewheel removal tool i needed it for initially.
