I have nightmares of stripped nuts just looking at this thing. The fact the video was CGI did not comfort me any.

The live video offered no comfort either. Until I see someone banging on it with a hammer to loosen something, no deal.

Interesting looking tool - it probably has it's place but it's a steep price. I think I would only like this if I couldn't use a ratchet set. The resetting option is kind of cool...I have to admit, that is my biggest annoyance of using an adjustable wrench is removing it to get another bite for another turn.

The reviews are not encouraging. Lots of reports of broken tool with minimal use.

These things are awesome BTW. I won a set at a company event last year and for six months, their only task was adjusting legs on appliances 🤣. I've been really using them in the garage for a few months now, and have been impressed by the performance. Expensive, yes, but functional.

I ordered this, here is why.

I do a lot of automotive work and have a lot of tools (I'm a tool snob and most of my gear is gedore or Taiwan made gearwrench etc)

While I have every socket size and multiple rolling chests of equipment- my open wrench sets seem to stop at about 19mm and I always find myself using an adjustable wrench for 20mm+ (which is most fasteners in suspension work).

I absolutely love my other wera gear (the chisel screwdrivers are epic and my wera sockets are top quality). I'm hoping this thing lives up to the brand's high bar!

In tight spots I could see where this could be useful but a plier wrench would be better imo for the same price or cheaper (I got the Icon plier wrench for $29 with the 25% during the Labor Day sale). I feel this wrench would round-off a nut more than a plier wrench could

If you do a lot of automotive work, perhaps you should invest in a wrench set 20mm+

I'm working on a 1994 3.0 4runner. It has an EGR valve that is somewhat accesible. It is a rusty/heat locked part (post 12) (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yotatech.com%2Fforums%2Ff116%2Fcode-71-vacuum-... [google.com]
It is 20-22 mm (not sure). I took this wrench and had to hit it repeatedly with a rubber mallet.
It worked perfect without rounding or letting go.
I have knipex pliers wrenches that I use for stuff like this because they are way better than traditional adjustable wrenches, but I didn't have the grip strength to keep the jaws closed on this EGR.
So I'm pretty happy with how it went.
I think the CGI is just to slow down the operations so you can see how the jaws move. It is an interesting swivel that is unique to this tool. If you apply pressure to the end of the handle, it tightens/locks down on the part. If you apply pressure near the neck, the jaws open and allow the head to swivel with very little arc. Meaning you can turn a nut/bolt in a fairly tight space (similar to how ratcheting wrenches advertise 5 degree arcs and such), better than any adjustable wrench I've ever used.
It's not all roses though, it still has the same negatives as an adjustable wrench. The tool head is way thicker than a quality wrench.

I generally avoid adjustables. I have an adjustable that you close down on in the traditional manner THEN squeeze the handle of a vice-grip style. It works great, but it's a rare that I use it. Usually when I have something already stripped. A lot of times that's vice-grips anyways.

I generally avoid them as well, but I always have them with me for oddball tasks or when I need 2 wrenches of the same size and only brought one.
Adjustables are not desirable and I try to avoid them, but when it works, it works.
