or just buy the 4 piece set, cause you know you are going to eventually round out your set like you normally do. the wrenches are geared toward metric and each wrench has 3mm range, so can't always impose SAE/Imperial on the rest of the world ;o)
I have both. Here is the thing. If I’m going to do a single bolt and the knipex fit that’s the go to. On repetitive work ( a flange with 22 bolts) and the wera works that’s the tool. I use a cordless impact too but some times the hand tools are a lot less to carry and climb with and there is no battery to die. They all have a place.
If I had to only have 1, yes. However, there are things that this can do great that pliers wrench cannot: ua-cam.com/video/ohr0Oh_zWXY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/ohr0Oh_zWXY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/c9ATiY6130M/v-deo.html
As a European the only time I use adjustable wrenches is when I either don't have the right size wrench for some reason but more so for when I run into American crap that doesn't use the metric system, and I simply don't want to buy extra tools I only use incidentally.
I have the whole lot the most useful for plumbing however is the 25-32mm which is great if you have the space for the long handle , but under a sink the length of the handle usually gets in the way. I usually use a bahco adjustable for tackling compression fittings the handle is about 7 inches long and that provides enough torque to cope with most jobs . The XL handle however is much longer I presume to give more leverage in other applications. I think wera should make an XL 6004 joker with a much shorter handle for close in tactical tightening if you kwim…
it also might elp to read the # on the tool. 13-16 means 13-16mm. if you want to use it on 10 or 19 you should buy the proper tools. 13-16 is a useless tool anyway if there are a 10-13 and a 16-19 jokers.
That was my thought too. What's the point of this video? The answer to the "What size Wera 6004 self adjusting spanner wrench to buy?" is written on the tools directly. If you want to save and use 2 tools instead of 4 by using them improperly, buy more cheap crap for this price and don't worry.
Seems a complicated solution to a problem handled better by tools I already have. For me, it just does not justify it's own existence. "There is a nut out there for every wrench".
Except that they are auto adjusting and ratchet with one hand. They can also go on flats or corners. Not saying that makes them appropriate for everyone, but I don't know of any other tool that executes on these two features as well.
Hey man. I'd get a knipex pliers wrench. Does far more sizes and can probably ratchet just as fast. See my video about it. Also I'd be happy to send you one of my tool wallets if you'd like to show them to your viewers.
I’d look at getting the smallest one or two jokers for small nuts & bolts. Such as for adjusting jubilee hose clamps. I’d get the jokers instead of multiple nut drivers / small hex sockets.
I like mine. Where I know the size of what I'm tackling, I won't use them. But when I'm going at something new, I like them. Adjustables aren't going to get more compact than this.
Not always unfortunately. When working with M12 fasteners you will sometimes need 18 and 19mm, nut always 19, head of bolt 18 or 19mm. Same with M10, you need to carry 16 and 17mm.
I feel this comment to my core. I get looks on the job site when I use them because they look so gimmicky, yet they actually work. Just wish they didn’t look so “dainty” and colorful.
This video has some helpful information on sizing, but unfortunately never actually uses the tool. When the video ends saying "this is what you can do with the Wera Joker", this leaves the viewer thinking it's just a regular wrench and horribly undersells it. This thing auto-adjusts and ratchets with one hand at the head with a shorter arc than the pliers wrench (handle has to extend to ratchet). If you want to actually see how to use the Joker, see this video: ua-cam.com/video/ohr0Oh_zWXY/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/c9ATiY6130M/v-deo.html
More intended to replace those screw type adjustables. Knipex did it a different way that's better in a lot of circumstances, but the wera fits the form factor of a wrench
A set of 4 of these is 175 USD. Too much for a gimmicky tool. It doesn't do anything I can't already do... it just provides convenience. Not worth the extra 100 dollars.
Depends on your work. Something like this and it really proves itself. For everyday tasks though, definitely not what you'll reach for first. ua-cam.com/video/c9ATiY6130M/v-deo.html

If you're a wera fanboy these are great.
If you want the tool this wants to be, get the Knipex plier wrench.
Thanks, I was debating which style to go with.

Bahco>
I would only buy one if they made a short one that opens extra wide. Would be the perfect C-wrench
It seems like the best would to skip sizes to get the greatest coverage and minimize spending. Xs, M, XL
There is no XL according to the video. Only L & XXL.
@@davadoff Not sure where he got that; there is definitely an XL and XXL.
Very informative!! Thanks, mean the 13-16mm can be used for 19mm screw or bolt?
it also might elp to read the # on the tool. 13-16 means 13-16mm.

13-16 is a useless tool anyway if there are a 10-13 and a 16-19 jokers.
Idk about Imperial, but in Metric we usually got 10, 13, 17, 19. meaning anything this can do is pretty much useless

How Mach cost this wrenches. I am buy this. Plz reply me

Where can i buy?
I love wera but I think I’m gonna pass on these. I wanted them to be so much better. Looks like they over thought this one.
Buy them all
nut rounder 3000
In those notches, yes. On the flats it's pretty much like any other open end. Definitely not going to replace your box end.
This made me genuinely laugh out loud.
Sorry, but the size of the nut in a Bolt in metric is the same.
In this example, M12, hex and wrench, the width is 19mm
M12 is always metric, thus the "M".
@@hanwagu9967 I know It.

@@DanMaresse huh, M doesn't mean metric?
@@hanwagu9967 yes M means metric but there are two different standards, ANSI and DIN and they differ on the hex sizes for M10 M12 and M14 bolts.

Maybe it's time for your country to go metric and take advantage of the whole range of European tools?
Whenever I use Wera tools I feel dumb and smart at the same time. So many features, and some do work, but overall it's too much.

Nobody wants to test the limits of these wrenches with a torque wrench
For a reason haha
Am I the only one thinking FIVE sizes of adjustable wrench wtf? I’ll just carry the right sizes thanks!
I know right. What's the point of it being adjustable when you need to bring a bunch of them anyway!
I have at least 5.
Heavy Industrial maintenance 😃
Won’t replace Knipex wrench plier 86 series, seems an overpriced toy.

Don't think it's meant to replace it. It's meant for situations where you can't use pliers wrench:
