I bought a NEO Tools key. What is his trick

Still forked out and decided to buy key NEO Tools 03-015! And although it is the smallest of the entire new line, I think it is the most for plumbing. Although Poland makes such keys, there is a German standards institute "DIN 3117" badge on the packaging, which is a mystery to me. The Neo adjustable wrench is part of the professional series, so I will try not to miss anything.

Materials

Key made made of chrome vanadium steel (CrV), which promises 100 years of service and some protection from rust. The packaging says that the manufacturer gives a 25-year warranty!

The handle of the tool is covered with a layer of TPR (thermoplastic rubber) coating. This rubber is not afraid to fall into oil or lie down a little in gasoline. It is from this that she is insured.

Specifications

Maximum spanner width 34 mm with a total length of about 160 mm. This ratio makes the tool unique, since usually the maximum that analogs can give with such a handle length is a grip of 20-25 mm. So Neo Tools' working range helps to lighten the plumber's bag by a couple of keys.

The company inscription, as well as the scale, are engraved, and a point-pointer is provided on the movable jaw.

Key weight about 190 grams, which with its short length allows you to throw it in your pocket. The stroke of the sponge is very easy without KL. stoppers and brakes. The surface of the lips is slightly rough.

MAIN REASON buying a key - very narrow jaws, allowing you to do jewelry work with plumbing and twist where usually nothing comes out or it turns out very clumsy. At the ends of the jaws, the width is only 4 mm. At the very top is a sponge no wider than 9 mm. Key body at the widest part only 10 mm, so the smallest width is needed to grip the nuts.

Although the tool is professional, there is a slight backlash of the movable jaw, both longitudinal and transverse, but there is absolutely no backlash when working on the edges.

Capabilities

This adjustable wrench, I would say, is a gentle key, will help in working with weak parts mixers, for example with silumin nuts and aerators, intolerant of rough instruments and strong pressure. I also plan to use it on radiatorswhere the nuts fit close to the body. It is convenient for them to take off and put on water meters and taps, which are often located in narrow mines or hidden in bedside tables.

But it will especially help when tightening spouts on mixers, for example, kitchens, where there is a mounting nut without edges only with a couple of notches, which a wide-lipped wrench is not able to grab, but Neo can handle. It happens that the spout is wider than the nut and then it can only be tightened by hand, which is unreliable.

Here is such a small analysis of the capabilities of the key for 1000 rubles. What do you think about its practicality?
