Gardner Bender LNW-KIT Locknut Wrench Kit, ½ & ¾ Inch., Loosen / Tighten locknuts, Steel Construction fits UL locknuts, 2 Pk. Bundle, Black

These are well made, high quality wrenches that are invaluable when you need them. They are stronger and more precisely cut than I expected. They securely grab the locknut for removal and tightening. I bought these just “in case”, knowing I’d need regret not having them one day. Well, last weekend I needed to replace a damaged 1/2 inch LiquidTight connector from a cramped single gang box feeding my pool pump. This wrench did the trick perfectly. No brute-force screwdriver+hammerIng which would likely have damaged the nut and/or wiring. For the price it’s totally worth the time, frustration and banged knuckles saved.

It works as specified.

These are great little hook spanners and they sure make it quick and easy in many situations. No, they won't work all the time for everything but they're definitely worth having in the bag. I think they're particularly useful where you may have the nut against a finished surface like on some outdoor light fixtures and don't want to leave any scratches or risk breaking cheap zinc castings with a twist. I found these able to snake into several tight places where pliers would never go and on one box with a thermostat mounted to it, using a hammer/screwdriver isn't a great idea but that must have been how they did it originally. For those asking for a single two-sized wrench, they could do that but then the single wrench would be more limited in use since one end of each tool is offset a little compared to the other.

You don't actually need these. You can use a screwdriver or pliers instead. These worked in a few places. However, in tight spots, I still had to use the old screwdriver or pliers method. I'll keep them because I did use them. I thought I'd be able to get a little more use out of them with the recent project I completed.

These are handy little wrenches for tightening the lock nuts for electrical wiring box connectors and clamps. I saw reviews where people were complaining that they couldn’t reach lock nuts that were inside of a lipped box. These are simple straight wrenches, not offset wrenches. Klein sells a similar set that is offset for that type of application, but they honestly get complaints on tightening with the offset handles. A set of both styles makes sense if you work with a lot of different box sizes. These are intended for electrical fitting lock nuts which don’t require a lot of torque. I saw complaints from users trying to use them on hydraulic fittings which require a lot more torque. I use heavier spanner type wrenches for that type of application or for tightening the collets on my ISO tool holders on my CNC machine. I like the light weight compact design of these wrenches because they fit well into my tool belt pouch. The only thing I can’t figure out is why there are notches added to the grip area of the wrench. There are 4 on the 1/2” and 1 each on the 3/4 and 1” wrenches. They could be break-away tabs from the machining process, but the 4 on the 1/2” don’t make sense for that. Maybe they provide clearance for some applications. They are a great deal for $11.

I bought it for a second time again. Perfect Quality. Great Value, it works as advertised. Will put it in Stock at our Worldwide Headquarters as a Machine Distributor. This comment sent to you by a worldwide OEM. Real good stuff and quality. I really advise to have that at hand, it is nowhere available. (Lowes, Home Depot,...). A Locknut Wrench everybody looked at it, but nowhere in Stock. Better get this stuff here... Good quality I say again, you won`t be disappointed...Looks very weak but is alloy steel. I recommend.

Like most people I know who do electrical work as a sideline, I've been tightening the nut on BX steel box connectors with either a screwdriver from the inside, or a pair of lineman's pliers from the outside. Not until I saw a You Tube video did I know that there was a dedicated tool to tighten these nuts, and since I couldn't find one in any home stores by me I went to Amazon and found a set that was very reasonably priced. A few days later I was cinching down those box nuts like a pro, now you can too!

Buen producto

Ich benutze dies Schlüssel für Lee Matritzen. so weit ok.

Uso esporadicamente, mas serviu perfeitamente

These things are awesome. You get the lock rings way tighter than with a hammer and flat head and it's way more controlled, especially if you have wires in the box or if the box is trapezed and can't handle hammering the sh*t out of it to get the lock ring tight enough. Before I bought, I read some of the reviews on here of old timers saying what's the point when you have a hammer and a screwdriver haha don't listen to them. Some of these old timers hack stuff together for years and eventually think that's the only way to do it and any progression is dumb. This is a modern specialized tool that works great if you're doing lots of pipe work. NOTE: these work well for the silver coloured 4x4 or 11/10 boxes. They don't work nearly as well with the 6x6 (and up) boxes that have the flange for the lid to attach to.

Llegó en tiempo y forma todo muy bien
