Lobtex Hybrid Monkey X UM36XG

Lightweight, compact, and an adjustment mechanism devoid of slip or sloppy adjusting? Yes please!The design of this wrench gives you better leverage, due to the design having a greater contact area than your usual adjustable wrench.I've been carrying around a Swedish made adjustable wrench for about ten years, which has a similar design, with graduations in millimeters to help you preset your wrench, or even tell you what size fastener you're turning. I have no gripes with that wrench, but when you want to lighten the load you're carrying, THIS ingenious wrench is a great choice.Wrenching on the run? This Lobtex "Lobster" wrench will perform flawlessly, and save weight in your tool bag or box. It's got plenty of turning strength, and even has a slimmer set of jaws than comparable wrenches. So if you're in the market for a new "Fits All" wrench, consider this one!

Great quality and a large jaw opening. I keep it in my boat toolbox.

Pros: - Quality! Better tolerance than most adjustable wrench’s. Feels good in hand. - 200mm Lobster is 6.5oz -vs- standard 8in wrench is ~9.7oz -vs- Knipex 180mm is 9.0oz. - Thinner head than a standard wrench. - Wider opening than standard. 200mm Lobster opening is just over 30mm. - Nice hard chrome finish. - Price is decent for this quality.Cons: - Does not close all the way - Only closes down to about 4mm (too wide to hold/bend/straighten sheet metal).This exactly fills the need I was looking for to reduce weight for a motorcycle travel tool kit.Overall this is a great tool that I will own for a lifetime.Pictures are a comparison of the Lobster UM30X 200mm, the Knipex 8603180 180mm Pliers Wrench (also a wonderful tool, but pricey!), and an 8 inch Ridgid adjustable wrench from one of my trips to HD 10+ years ago.

Purchased this after using my coworkers, have to keep the weight down on my travel box or the airlines will charge an extra $75, while I like how lightweight it is the jaw just isn’t as smooth as my Milwaukee and feels like it could slip with to much torque. Still my go to mainly because I can throw it in my pocket and not have my pants falling, I do like that the jaws open wider than normal 8” adjustable but I don’t like that they don’t close all the way.

A slightly slimmer profile is great, this will reach better into tight spots. It will also be easier to hold the back lock nut when separating it from the top nut. Most nuts are not as wide/thick as the average crescent wrench blade, so it will be easier to seat and tighten up when closing the jaws.Always looking for a better adjustable wrench and I am glad that I happened to see this one.The price is not bad for the quality.

This wrench is awesome. If you put this on a nut then use an impact gun on the head of the bolt the jaws dont move and change sizes. Its very lightweight and has a perfect cut out to put a carabiner on it. I like carrying it on my belt incase i need to tighten bolts on the go at work. Just watch out if you do carry it like that it once swung right into my nuts and tightened them to 90ft pounds. Now i clip it to my back belt loop haha.

Lobster tools are the highest quality much higher than American made

Good quality and comfortable, but the jaws don’t close all the way. With the adjustment screw adjusted all the way, there is about a 3/16” to 1/4” gap between the jaws.
