Despite having four flat sides only the two main jaws matter in turning/torque load. The V design is also inherently weaker and will permanently deform under repeated stressing faster than an arch so over the long haul you'll end up with oversized open ends. See photos.
And the bolt rolling out of the V.
And the wrench rounding.
It bears repeating Cornwell, along with MAC and Proto and a myriad of other manufacturers who don't offer fancy open ends, otherwise makes excellent wrenches. I've never had the box end of any of these manufacturers fail me and 9 times out of 10 that's what im using.
Always said, Cornwell, MAC, and Proto, nicest looking full polish chrome in the industry today.
Thanks! I appreciate it....I do try and make videos that dont look like they were shot on-the-go with a cellphone
Thanks! Do you know where I could find one of those bolts? What do I look for?
Wow....thanks for the step-by-step photos....looks very similar to how the regular wrenches failed in my initial video.
A few more comments...
#1 - The last video was to show the differences between a regular combo wrench & the WrightGRIP....it was not a battle of the wrenches.
#2 - I think I showed fairly well that both the Snap-on & Wright do not slip....which was the intention to test.
#3 - It absolutely has to do with the brands, since they are ALL different with the internal serrations. If by simply adding serrations to the jaw, any brand could achieve these results.....then by that logic a $5 set of china wrenches from Wal-mart could do the same thing as a Snap-on.....I think not.
I suppose you could go as in-depth as possible if given the right equipment....but as far as a garage-style test, this is about as good as it gets. Also, as far as brand quality.....Snap-on & Wright are both top shelf.....Wright is not in the same league with store brands by any means.
Wow....interesting....I am surprised that's as high as the go with FD+.....I know with my SAE WrightGRIPS, they go all the way to 1 1/4".
.you and Steinmetz are two of the people I respect most here on GJ, so I was a bit disappointed to see you cave and take the low road and start whining about "complaining" rather than setting up a new video addressing his logical reasoning on why some wrenches fail and others don't.ATTENTION.....EVERYONE.....
We are all inferior to the all knowing & all powerful Steinmetz!!
Thank you for taking the time to complain....yet again....and again, and again, and again.....
I would almost get offended if I couldnt check your post history here & can plainly see you do nothing except complain. I bet your neighbors love you.

It's the same reason I read the advertising-free Consumer Reports, they just conduct tests and leave the whining about complaining to someone else.
You make way too much money & free tools with your youtube videos not to jump on any excuse to make even more videos and get to the bottom of which wrenches perform and which don't, and to help your viewers understand why. You have the gift of very good presentation skills, so use that skill and don't write someone off just because they are skeptical and raise additional questions.
People jump to all kinds of conclusions about correlation vs. causation, and we need skeptics like Steinmetz to keep our brains thinking straight.
I see this in other areas of life, recently a study found that people who take ****** get melanoma more than people who don't, so everyone (including greedy attorneys) jump to the conclusion that ****** raises your risk of skin cancer, but a scientist/statistician/engineer would point out that more likely is the fact that people taking ****** are more likely to be chasing skirts on the beach in the sun than the average guy who is not getting any!
