Crescent 18" Automotive Wrench - C718

Nice wrench with deeper jaws than your typical adjustable wrench.

I refuse to use a standard pipe wrench on brass valves, copper thread adapters, any hex unions, or any other flat-spotted firings. I have one 14” crescent wrench already, and was actually looking for another when I found this 15” flat jawed monkey wrench. One of my pet peeves is when people use a toothed pipe wrench on soft metal or flat-spotted fittings designed for flat faced wrenches. I love how this wrench opens up about twice as far as the Crescent does. It has a great hand feel, just like it’s more vicious brother the pipe wrench. If you do any pipe fitting at all, and care about the appearance of your fittings when you’re done, you need this wrench. It will let those who follow you know that a professional was there before them

I needed to remove some valves and gauges from a series of air and propane tanks, all different sizes. The main difficulty was getting around the collars on each tank, one of which I had to cut. This tool and a sledge hammer did the whole lot. Banged on it all afternoon with a 4lb sledge and it still looks great. Right tool for the right job.

We ended up ordering a number of these but returned a few because the face of a jaw was not flat or had a casting flaw along part of its edge, or because the knurled adjustment screw would bind unless you used two (beefy) hands to turn it. That said, the ones that worked well work REALLY well - nice and parallel grip on the workpiece and they stay parallel after you snug down the jaws. The ones that work well would easily rate 5 stars, in my estimation, but the ones that have issues are not what you want and obviously would rate much lower. We decided on giving four stars just to simplify things. We very much hope the manufacturer will tighten up their quality control.

The Crescent C718 is an eighteen inch Monkey / Engineer wrench. The wrench is a special tool which can perform many tasks which other wrenches can not get done. Flat smooth jaws with a large range of opening allow the wrench to adapt to many sized nuts, bolts, pipe fittings, etc, other wrenches do not have the range of jaw opening to address the problem, and pipe wrenches will dent, mar, and scratch the material you are working on. The smooth jaws leave no marks and hold a tight fit. Crescent builds a good wrench at a reasonable price. I own the set from small to large, and use them daily. They stand up to the job and perform where no other wrench will do. Try them they will work for you also.

You know whenever they ask you for a wrench you got to give them the F wrench these are a good quality I got them for someone as a gift and they absolutely love them

Cumple con las especificaciones técnicas y de calidad mencionadas

I don't know how i lived so long without this tool. These were a very popular design in the 20th century. I saw a few antique versions in a friends garage and decided i needed one. Without the patience to go antique shopping i was ecstatic to find that they still manufacture these. All the nostalgia of a WWII piece of American in brand new hard chrome. Thank you Crescent for keeping the Automotive Wrench alive.

it is very light and easy to use

Alicate lembra os antigos Monkey Wrench. Uma abertura d boca como nenhum outro consegue chegar. Para mim um produto de muita qualidade e com uso irrestrito, para diversas atividades na mecânica. O copie del é em aço sólido e robusto, com um cromo ou níquel que irá proteger contra a oxidação.

Great fit and finish. It’s going to be really handy for all kinds of jobs. The jaws open a lot wider than a normal adjustable wrench and it’s available in a full range of sizes.

Good one. Hassle free delivery

No soy plomero, la compré porque soy medio "manitas" y me gusta andar arreglando cosas. En las herramientas hay un mundo de éstas que son muy útiles, en el caso de la Crescent, creo que es idónea, ya que abre hasta 3 pulgadas o unos 7.7 mm. Lo cual es muy bueno para ajustar las tuercas grandes de un tinaco o de alguna otra cosa que se requiera. La llave es bastante ligera y los materiales se siente muy buenos, lo cual la hace una buena compra en relación precio-calidad. La recomiendo ampliamente. Es una buena inversión. La llave me llegó antes de la fecha indicada. ¡Excelente!
