I have a Lobster wrench that I found laying on the side of the highway. I use it every chance I get. It looks like it would survive a nuclear attack.

that's a nice alternative to the bahco brand adjustable wrench. I am always interested in a thin jaw adjustable. thin jaws have come in handy on more occasions than the wrench itself.

I was looking at that kit. Debating between that one or the CPS Nitrokitg.

The form factor of that makes WAY more sense than the stupid short hoses on mine!

I had an old bahco when they were still Swedish made in my work truck but a colleague borrowed it when I was on extended leave and lost it in the bush.

I think some of the more recent bahco stuff is made in Spain.

Lobster was less than half the cost of a Spanish bahco, time will tell if it’s just as good but at this stage I like it.

thin jaws like that are good for brake caliper slide pins when you need a backer wrench and plumbing when removing expansion tanks. thanks for sharing.
