Crescent8" Adjustable Ratcheting Flex Wrench - ACFR8VS

Suitable to my need and strong. Would recommend.

Ratcheting function does not work, locking flex handle does not lock. This wrench has not been able to tighten or loosen a nut. Useless and a waste of money.

The knuckle buster. It wasn’t for me. I love it. Have it a 4, because it isn’t perfect. Does require two hands to make the ratchet function work more efficiently. But, it really does work. Used it to remove (broke the nut free with a larger Crescent wrench) and install water heater 1” nuts off the 3/4” pipes and the one gas line pipe. Really impressed the customer and he said he was going to buy one.I would gift this, confidently. It is part of my daily tool bag, and will have fun using it.The handle is oddly about 1” short, in my opinion. Doesn't allow you to feel like you can torque down on something, but for larger nuts- you probably want to use a larger wrench, anyways...As far as making the job easier, YES!!! Took those nuts off and put them back on quick.I did see how the hand could randomly loose its position and fold. But, I was aware of where the locking mechanism was and stayed away from it. It NEVER accidentally folded on me.I really do love it, AND it opens up to 1 3/8”, wow!!!

The quality is poor

This thing works if you use it for the right task. You aren't gonna break loose extremely tight bolts with it and you probably shouldn't put too much force on it to begin with because it is not the toughest. But it has got me out of some weird situations with its mix of flex-head, ratcheting and adjusting. Definitely not a daily use tool but it has its uses.

It’s neat but in a way not practical. I used it once and went back to using my usual tools lol.

This product is quite heavy, the crescents of the wrench a bit too thick, the locking mechanism for the handle lock, does not stay engaged. The adjusted opening of the crescent does not stay locked. The rachet mechanism is not a true rachet mechanism. I did not find this product useful.

A couple of weeks before I bought this I installed a new kitchen faucet. Anyone who has had to cram themselves under the kitchen sink, in an older home, to reconnect the water lines knows how uncomfortable and frustrating it can be. I did a whole lot of cussing because I had to contort myself into miserable positions to get my wrenches where they needed to be. When I saw this I sure wished I had had it for that project. I had to buy it "for next time", I'm sure I'll find other good uses for it, too. The fact that it locks in place makes it even more awesome.
