Stanley 85-610 10-Inch Long MaxGrip Locking Adjustable Wrench
I work for a large truck leasing company, servicing its rental fleet. I now use my locking wrench on every preventative maintenance service. It is fantastic at loosening 4-sided drain plugs from differentials, crank cases, and transmissions. It hangs on and does not slip off. My only gripe is that it does not come in a larger size. 10 inch is a good size for around the house; but on these trucks I often find myself hammering on the wrench handle to get plugs loose. I’ve used it on over 100 trucks so far, and it has held up great.

This is a cross between a vice-grip and a crescent wrench. This is great for bath/kitchen plumbing when you need to remove stubborn fixtures and do not want to embed the channel lock/pipe wrench teeth into the chrome fixture and leave rough teeth marks on the smooth surface. The wrench locks down without marring the polished finish and it will not fall off if your hands are slippery wet. I also would like to see this tool in a 12″ version.

I had a wrench of this pattern made by Chapman Tool Company in the 1970’s and it was one of my all-time top favorites. The locking lever not only took out the slack inherent in an adjustable wrench, it held the wrench on the nut freeing my hands to grab another wrench or to manipulate the work. I was very sorry to lose the Chapman Tiger-lock overboard and I was delighted to see Stanley offering one, and bought it without hesitation.
I was disappointed to see the Stanley version is made in China and the fit of the working parts is marginal, but it does work and it will be going into my Daily Favorites toolbag in spite of its chunkiness. The finish is good and the jaws will open for a 1-1/4″ nut. The price is reasonable. If it were made to the standards of Klein or Channellok I would have paid twice as much–cheerfully!

Every now and then a tool comes along that is so much better than those with similar function, you can’t believe it can be so good. The MaxGrip is such a tool. Once you use it, it will be the crescent you use 99% of the time. It has a bulldog grip with parallel jaws, unlike vise grips. It will not harm the nut or bolt flats. It is ideal for one man jobs, in that you can lock it on a nut and then turn the bolt without the hassle of the nut holding wrench falling off. It even works for holding small parts for drilling or other types of work… better than a drill vice. Why did it take so long for it to be developed… as usual it looks simple once you use it, and makes many nasty jobs much easier. I am sure it won’t be long before Stanley comes out with the whole range of MaxGrip crescents, from 4 inches to 36 inches… it is a winner!

This wrench is very handy—-use on metric and standard bolts and nuts. Locks on like a vise grip—-no rounded corners. I keep one in the tractor as well as the vehicle.
