Ridgid Offset Hex Wrench

[zer0cell]

Have any of you all used one of these? They are made by Ridgid in the USA. I saw it at Home Depot and really liked it. I am probably going to buy one of these next time I go there. The cost is about $30.

yes, i use it on occasion in the hvac field. it has narrow jaws, allowing access where crescents cant go (txv heads). that's really all i use it for.

how about this one ?

Yes zero, I've had that wrench for over 20 years. Comes in handy for large fluid and hose fittings/caps/plugs in aviation. Indispensable and bullet proof.

You can even flip the jaw around backwards in the handle, grab a cheater pipe and it will then fit BIG nuts!

If you get one please take an upclose pic of that decal on it. I've had a few Ridgids and seen a lot of them but never seen anything like that on them.

@americanlockpicker: Okay, sure thing

Basically, it's an offset spud wrench.

Picked one up a few weeks ago at an estate sale for a dollar or two, seemed like it could come in handy. Sorry for the poor pic.

 

[zer0cell]

A couple dollars for one of those is a great deal. It felt very sturdy when I was handling it...

 

[heelsroll]

Agreed 100%

As a plumber I use one daily

I use the Rigid Hex wrenches daily, absolutely love them. Make a nice back up wrench torquing studs to 4000 ft-lbs!

It's amazing how tools are like clothes: if you wait long enough they come back in fashion!

I've got one in the gangbox - it comes in handy in close quarters type work.

That wrench has smooth jaws that make it ideal for working on chrome slipjoint nuts. Indispensible for repair plumbing work.
