2-Piece 16-Inch Rubber Strap Wrenches from Craftsman - Perfect for Loosening and Tightening Hard-to-Reach Objects

RT: The metal hinge piece connecting the strap to the handle was a bit fiddly for my application, and it took a couple tries to get it aligned so that it wouldn't interfere with the piece I needed to tighten.

Once I got it lined up right, however, it worked well and gave me a good impression of the wrenches' robustness. Here's hoping the straps last as long as the handles do!

AngelaBAngelaB: Worked perfect to open a shower bonnet nut when changing the shower cartridge. Last time I did this without this tool, I put a towel over the chrome bonnet ring and tried to turn it with a wrench. Phew that wasn’t fun. This time around I got this and I was so impressed!! Opened like a breeze. Highly recommend.

Todd Dunnavant: In astrophotography, I connect my telescope to my cameras and similar devices using fine-threaded (and often short -- think 5 - 10 mm long) extension tubes and adapters that convert between different tube and opening diameters (typically between 42 mm and 54 mm diameters). It's quite common for these tubes and adapters to get stuck with each other! I've found these rubber strap wrenches to be perfect for breaking the stickiness between stuck tubes and adapters, without damaging these finely-machined items.

M: I did not use on an oil filter. I was changing the media on a RainSoft EC5 water system and the top would not budge (this is not a little case filter). Not wanting to destroy a very expensive unit with a rubber mallet, I needed something for leverage and grip. The rubber on this tool was actually a little too thick and took some work to get under the housing. After about 5 minutes I had just enough grip to get the top moving. Was an emotional moment, lol. Rainsoft Tech service would have cost me over 800. With this tool, resin beads, and muscle. I saved 650 by doing it myself. Tool was well worth the price, even if I never use it again. Highly recommended to help twist off valve housing on home water filtration systems.

César Navarro: Muy útil para abrir o girar tubos grandes o tapas de frascos sin lastimarse las manos, o marca es garantía

Doug W: You can go a long time without needing a strap wrench, but when you need one it can be a real lifesaver. In my case it was the stuck glass cover for the oven light bulb. That sucker would just not move. Very slippery and even when I got a grip on it you hate to force something glass while holding it in your hand, you know? Got the strap wrench, put it on, was able to get it unscrewed with a nice even force. Nothing broke and my wife can make Christmas cookies and peek in on them without opening the door. One use like that and it's paid for itself ten times over versus calling somebody in... who would probably have the same wrench and take the same minute I took once I had the right tool.

I've used these before, they're useful for lots of tasks, basically any time you have something round without a good way to get purchase on it this will really help, and unlike something metal there's no real risk of scuffing up the surface.
