Works great for taking off silencers. Especially those with a lock ring like SureFire.

I did not realize how useful a full-size strap wrench could be! The extra length/leverage makes the tool much more useful than the tiny rubber strap versions.

I use this for piston disassembly and reassembly on forklift hydraulic cylinders, best tool Ive used for this purpose hands down

I bought this tool on the chance that in using it for a particular repair project, it would do what I was hoping it would do and it worked for me very well as normally, it takes 2 people to accomplish a task vs. now it only takes 1 person (me) to do the repair work since where I work, its just me inside of a central plant environment with no nearby help from another person.

Bought these 25 Oct 2015Yes, the beginning complaints maybe true about it slipping. SO USE IT! Like a pair of new boots, break it in!These 2 tools have been coated in grease, different engine oils, hydraulic fluids, gear oils, coolant, pressure washed. And cleaned in solvent tanks to include living, and lots of brake parts cleaner, parts washer, dish washer, you name it. The strap nor tool have ever been replaced and are used nearly ever day I work, to include stupid stuff pipes put on the handle 4 -6 feet long 2 people pulling on it to rotate drive lines on oild field equipment... that little bad boy has been put to the test.Only reason for this review this many years later.. new fresh mechanic needs one after hit China mad POS broke.Spend the moneyPut it to real workBrake it in! Don't baby it, it likes to be dirty and get put to work, more oils, Grease and hydraulic fluid makes it sticky better!However I do pressure wash it after a solvent tank bath because I don't want my box full of the stuffBut yes, it's out lasted nearly every other mechanics strap wrench in the shop!I think not fully cleaning the strap has helped the most However!Hope this helps!But it's worth the $ for sureMade in ELYRIA OHIO USAAnd it was made localNot sure where they are these days... but this one is still going strong!

You get what you pay for. This is a nice well build wrench.

Works great for rolling stainless pipe

Holds up and diesel shop. Really great for getting those fuel filters off of haul truck engines. Great for Semi and bigger. I know plenty of guys who still use the one they've bought years ago.

RIDGID ,quality tools

Used it to take apart our new metal boat dock to store it for the winter.

Much better than a cheap Chinese clone.Quality tools.Used ridgid since I was an apprentice, never let me down.

Ridgid ,, great product

I'm a diesel mechanic and I use this strap wrench all the time at work to change Solvent Tank filters. It works absolutely great!

Very light and durable

Skip the Lowes and Home Depot rubber ones.I broke a Kobalt strap wrench before finding this one and getting the job done.

Used to remove a bathroom faucet handle cover that I was unable to remove by hand but since it was plastic I could not use a wrench. The strap wrench worked perfect.

Had to fix the hydraulic cylinder rotation on my office chair. Previously used a normal pipe wrench (didn't know strap wrenches were a thing) and it scored the cylinder.New cylinder, same problem, got this to help.Took about 2 minutes to realize how to use it, then it worked PERFECTLY. No marring on the cylinder, no problems with the wrench. couldn't be more satisfied with the wrench

my husband bought this for work as a technician with air compressors. He uses the heck out of it! He highly recommends this!
