Channellock - 6 Xtra Slim Jaw Adj Wrench (806SW)

Very sturdy feel from this despite its slim jaws. I wouldn't put too much torque on this, but it's sufficient for the occasional air and water plumbing connections where nothing else fits. You may not need this if you own a grinder.

I work on bicycles very frequently and this is an excellent wrench for inner cone lock nuts on bicycle axles - works perfectly. Saves me time searching for the metric cone wrench that fits. Plan to buy the 8 inch size for similar purposes.It’s also useful for tightly spaced plumbing fixtures as well and when you need it, nothing else will work.The only “con” for me is that this wrench is expensive but it works so well that I’ll forget about the price the next time I use it to tune up my cycle. Hope that helps!

A common issue with S&W M&P Compact 22 with threaded barrel is that the thread protector is all most impossible to remove. I found this to be true. S&W usually sends a wrench for this with the pistol but mine came without the wrench. The flats for the wrench on the thread protector are very narrow so I tried to remove the thread protector with a stamped wrench I had laying around. It bent. So I emailed S&W and they happily sent me one of their wrenches. With only minimal pressure one of the ears snapped off on the wrench. So I spend some time looking for a sturdy thin wrench and came upon this Channellock 806SW Xtra Slim Jaw 6-Inch Adjustable Wrench. It being a Channellock product, which I have always had a lot confidence in, I decided to order it even though it was a little expensive. Initially it did not work because the jaws were still to thick to fit into slots for the flats. After a bit of filing on the jaws, I got them to fit into the slots and I was able to break loose the thread protector. Very sturdy adjustable wrench and worth the price.

I've needed a wrench (or set of wrenches) for a long time that would get into those hard to reach places, especially on the occasion of working on bicycle wheel bearings. This wrench worked well for rebuilding a bearing on an old bike, and It sure makes it easier having a good quality tool instead of bodging my way through a repair. Good tool.

I've been using this for a few months now as an automotive technician. I primarily purchased it for brake caliper slide pins and it has worked quite well for that, and it's a much less expensive alternative to a full set of slim wrenches.

Didn’t realize how useful these would be. Great tool to stick in the box very versatile. Has its uses but make sure not to crank on it too hard as this is a specific tool.

This wrench is smaller than I thought, but this little guy is extremely well made, very precise, very strong, and is the perfect size for my little SCUBA Diving tool kit - and it’s small enough to travel easily! I’m very impressed with this little guy!

Needed to hold the "flats" on a power steering shaft while tightening the pulley lock nut. Not much room. Mechanics in town said grind down a normal wrench. They didn't know this existed. Worked well.

I wasn’t expecting much out of this little adjustable but I was gladly surprised! This little guy fits so easily in your pocket but it is so versatile and holds up well! The knurled adjustment is easy to move and it locks into place, even when using a lot of torque to turn nuts or screws. I was surprised by how wide this thing opens, you can easily use it on hex fittings or screws up to 3/4” and maybe a bit more. The thin profile of the claws make it so easy to work in tight spaces, especially if you’re working with small fittings or hard to reach nuts. I was worried I would damage the claws but they are very strong and they do not damage or scratch easily. Very impressed with these guys.Channellock, please come back to the USA. Spain doesn’t need your taxes.

Narrow width suits my bike.

I bought this wrench for only one purpose and that was to tighten the nuts on the starter motor of my GMC van. Something that is very easy to overtighten with potentially catastrophic results if breakage results. I am pleased to say that the offset head allows the wrench to hold that small nut in place while the second nut is tightened onto it. I am not sure how to rate durability because my use is very limited and to a single purpose at that.It's expensive but it does do a critical job with ease and eliminates the possibility of a much more expensive replacement. That is what I needed and this is exactly what I got.

It helps in places where you cant use full size thick wrenches. Expensive for its size and quality but overall useful tool.
