Hi dudes and dudetts,

I purchased one of these a few weeks ago and thought I might let you all know about it.

It's not a pair of multi grips, even though it looks like it. It operates like a spanner and I think it's fantastic for undoing bolts and nuts. It's adjustable, then you just squeeze the handle to lock on and turn. Unlike multi grips there are no serrated grips.

Thanks for the recommendation. There's an additional benefit for me when I come across such a tool. It usually inspires me to discard older unused things that Iv'e collected.

Correction to my post

I said they are not 'multi grips'. But apparently, according to their web site, that's exactly what they are..

250MM ‘QUICK JAW’ MULTIGRIP PLIERS | Trojan Tools

I purchased them a couple if weeks ago in a hurry when I needed some new multi grips. I was then disappointed because frankly as multi grips I thought they were terrible, so I through them in my tool bag. Then last week when I was doing some work on my boat, I lazily reached for them to undo a bolt because my spanner tool box was a massive two meters away. You know ho it goes.

And I was surprised as to how easily it operated as a spanner. Any size nut or bolt. Without slipping on the nut like multi grips do and without damaging the nut as traditional multi grips do. I thought I had discovered a new multi spanner. I thought perhaps they should call it a 'multi spanner' or a 'shifter'.
