I ordered two on 4/8 and just received a shipping notification. They should be here on Monday. I wonder how many I will end up with?

For those who have received them, how do they compare to other WF adjustables such as Craftsman's?

Mine came in today, looks just like the other Western Forge adjustables that I have seen(CMan, Proto, Allen, KD, tec.) I did notice the Martin stamping is smaller than say a CMan stamping, not really an issue.

Got my two. Casting was a bit sloppy, but the post machining is decent.
Didn't realize how small they'd be, even though the size was listed right in the thread title, haha.

Got my 4 yesterday as well. Casting looks good, and the machining is well done. The action is a little stiff in the extreme ends.
I will be giving two away to the neighbor kids so they can start fixing their own bicycles instead of me pulling of my projects to help.

I received two today as well and they're awesome for the price. Thanks again to the OP for this lead.

Just received two and gonna give one to my brother and friend. I can see why it's only worth $3, the adjusting roller is looser than my china one (rubber mold handle and laser etch) and the jaw opening is only 1/16" wider. Sure as hell not worth 20 bucks!!!
Decent deal, I guess... it's USA marked.

Received my 2 today as well... one is not bad, with the same slop that others above have mentioned, but I am definitely giving the other away. Very loose, and when closed, it looks like they forgot to take a grinder to the adjusting jaw, as it is much thicker and they do not line up at all.

man i got lucky. all 3 of mine are great except one will not close all the way, it leaves about a 64th gap.

^Lol... 1/64" gap? Are you using it as a micrometer or something?

I know this is old, but Amazon emailed me last night and asked if I wanted to continue waiting for these. Since they won't charge me until it arrives, I said "sure". I have little hope, but you never know!

My 3 finally came in.

And If you hurry now, you can get one on Sale for $145.
I just approved my second extension. I wonder how many Amazon does.
So there IS still hope. How long did you wait?
Now down to $134.37

I received 4 in the mail today. 1 out of the 4 is defective. It wont open more than 1/4 of the way and binds up. I emailed Amazon and they are sending me a replacement.They are out of stock tho. Other than the 1 these are nice wrenches. I have no complaints with Amazon either. I don't have to send the wrench back either. I forgot all about ordering these until I got an e mail the other day.

I got my two today. They are great quality! I never had a adjustable wrench that had so little slop and can stay in the position you set it for. The wrench feels great too. I gave one to my son and he was happy to use it on his plastic toy nuts.

Don't think I've touched an adjustable wrench since I stopped torquing on plastic toy nuts.
Can't believe this has gone on for six pages....
