The Wera adjustable wrench may be dismissed at first glance by some as just another gimmicking one size do it all tool.  All of us have adjustable spanner wrenches in our tool boxes and we sometimes have a love hate relationship with them.  After getting my hands on the Wera adjustable wrench I can tell you that you will love these tools.  Read on and see why.

The Wera adjustable wrench is part of the Joker series, part number 6004. How can a spanner wrench that is self-adjusting be anything more than a gimmick sold on late night TV.  Again, until you try it you won’t believe it.  While most adjustable spanner wrenches are somewhat sloppy by design, the Wera self-adjusting wrench clamps on to the nut and actually tightens even more as you apply pressure. You will have no slop what so ever like you have with a typical spanner.  Some people will tell you an adjustable wrench is a good way to round nuts.  I really don’t think you will have that happen with the Wera tool!

The Wera adjustable wrench comes in 6 sizes: XS (7-10mm 1/4″-3/8″), S (10-13mm 7/16″-1/2″), M (13-16mm 1/2″-5/8″), L (16-19mm 5/8″-3/4″), XL (19-24mm 3/4″-15/16″) and XXL (24-32mm 15/16″-1 1/4″).  The wrenches are also available in a four piece set that comes with an XS, S, M, & XL joker wrench.  I think this is the best buy but then again I love sets.  I seem to loose fewer tools if I have a set with a holder.

Wera tools are top quality tools period.  You can feel the quality in the “heft” of the tool.  These things are very well engineered and finished.  I had opportunity to meet with the Wera rep and I just couldn’t get over the feel of the tools.  You know quality when you hold it in your hand.  Every tool he showed me just screamed quality.  Well then if they are so good, what is the warranty?  Well the warranty is very simple, it’s a lifetime warranty.  If you have never heard of Wera tools, you can learn more about them here.

Well, you can ask that question on just about any given tool and get a variety of answers.  The Wera Joker 6004 series of adjustable wrenches may be a little more than a standard quality adjustable wrench but they really are a totally different concept.  Give them a try I think you will find them a great addition to your tool box.  Check the video below for more info on the tool.
