Adjustable wrench Irwin 250 mm, Swedish type, steel handle (MPN 10508159)

Irwin adjustable wrench, Swedish type, 250 mm with a steel handle is a compact, general-purpose hand tool designed for gripping and turning nuts and bolts across a range of sizes. The adjustable jaw allows a single tool to replace multiple fixed wrenches, while the steel handle and body provide the strength needed for workshop, repair and maintenance tasks. At 250 mm length it balances accessibility in confined spaces with sufficient leverage for light to medium torque applications.

Advantages

The adjustable jaw provides quick size adjustment to fit a variety of fastener widths without changing tools. Steel construction ensures durability and wear resistance under repeated use. The 250 mm length offers a compromise between reach and control, making the wrench suitable for use in tighter spaces while still allowing reliable torque transmission. The Swedish-type design delivers a straight, slim profile that is easy to position on fasteners and helps reduce slippage during work.

Suitable for

• General mechanical repairs and assembly
• Plumbing tasks involving pipe fittings and nuts
• Maintenance work in workshops and service vehicles
• Home DIY projects requiring a versatile wrench

Key specifications

• Overall length: 250 mm
• Adjustable jaw for multiple fastener widths
• Material: steel handle and body for strength and durability
• Swedish-type straight profile for access in confined spaces

How to use

Select the adjustable wrench and open the jaw to a size slightly larger than the fastener. Place the jaw squarely onto the nut or bolt head, then tighten the adjustment mechanism until the jaw fits snugly against the fastener faces. Apply steady force to turn the fastener, keeping the wrench aligned to minimize slipping and rounding. For best results, position the fixed jaw on the side toward which force will be applied. After use, clean off any debris or residues and store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the wrench within its intended torque range for light to medium tasks; avoid applying excessive force or using extensions (cheater bars) which can damage the tool or fastener. Regularly inspect the jaw adjustment for wear and ensure the moving parts operate smoothly. For precision or high-torque applications, use a correctly sized fixed wrench or torque tool designed for the required load.
