I expected a wrench that cost $25 to last a lot longer especially with the light use.The reason I was attracted to this product is that the automatic feature seemed to make it a lot easier when having to continuously remove and re-attach the wrench to a nut in order to continue turning it. I've only used it a couple of times. I bought one of these about 3 years ago. However, there a better solution to this problem. Now, I find that it has difficulty opening and closing using the automatic feature because the internal motor and drive belt are worn. I was told by the authorized service center for Black and Decker that internal replacement parts are not available for this product. Sears now has an adjustable wrench that has a ratchet feature. With this feature you do not have to remove the wrench from the nut to continue turning it.
It wasn't really what I thought it was going to be, the adjustable part works fine but the closing end has no teeth.
It also does not grip tight at all. I have this tool but never use it. The switch to open or close it is in a bad place, just when you get ready to use it you accidently open the wrench as the switch is easily pushed. It is useless in my opinion and a total waste of money. It looked like a good idea but isn't.
I recently purchased this wrench for my grandson-in-law's birthday. His collection of tools consisted of 2 screwdrivers. He and I were both impressed with the versatility of the wrench. It was an excellent buy and I recommend it highly.
I own this wrench and it is a waste of money. It runs off of AAA batteries that can't even power the jaws back and forth without assistance. You might as well spend the money this thing costs on a good wrench and save yourself the headache.
