DURATECH 12"/300 mm Strap Spanner with Adjustable Nylon Strap, Anti-Slip

Good quality cheeper then others perfect for big filters ie air dryers good value for money slip resistance is good as it doesnt and easy to use

Works ok but some rubber on the strap would help the grip factor!

Fantastic product, have been using it for ages and still going strong.

I used this to remove a 6" diameter lens cell from the front of a telescope. It took about 5 seconds. I struggled for 30 minutes the day before, trying to arm wrestle it off. There was enough strap left to easily do 10" diameter, perhaps a little more. It could go as small as a jam jar. I wasn't sure about the rubber strap versions - the threads on my lens cell felt seized so I wanted a strap which wouldn't stretch. This worked perfectly. Really simple to use - just thread the strap underneath the pin, then back through over the top. The indents on the jaw will grip this loose end as you lever it. Anticlockwise to undo. I could never have removed my lens without this - top marks!

Perfect

It works reasonably well but the strap has nowhere near the same level of grip as a rubber strap of similar designs. This is a fundamental problem and so I cannot rate it very highly which is a shame because the problem with rubber straps is that the rubber stretches before it offers enough force to move, in my instance, a tight oil filter. A better design might be woven fabric encased by rubber to offer best of both and that may be well available on the market. It's a shame as the cast metal handle is more premium. All things said though, I did get it to perform it's function eventually, hence 3 stars, not 1!

bought this as I had a really tight tap that I could not budge to check the cartridge. Very useful

Why did you choose this product over others?: The price was very good and it looks really good Functionality: I got this to help removing the tops off a which is a plastic fermenter that I didn’t want damaging this does the trick perfect every time

So I bought this hoping it would work to install a 3/4” shower head arm pipe with an oil rubbed bronze finish (very smooth). Short answer, it worked if I put a strip of 1/4” neoprene around the pipe. Slipped without the neoprene. It did work on a 1” screw driver. I suspect it would probably work on a 3/4” pipe with some surface texture (eg galvanized) but I haven't tried. So first thanks to all the folks who responded to my question on the 3/4” pipe. “A System Integrator” - your review with pictures of different wraps and actually using the wraps on a pipe were excellent and key to success - used 1A fyi. Also Lavenderpenguin - your review and response to use some rubber was the final ingredient. Dynatec - your response to use a pipe wrench was not helpful - I didn't want to mar the finish on the pipe so a strap wrench was what I was hoping would work - maybe a regular wrench is OK with enough tape and/or a rag. The 12” tool itself seems very well built and I thought the price was very reasonable. I suspect the poly? strap is probably going to be more durable and stronger than a rubber one. For small diameters, it may need some help (rubber, tape, etc) to grab in my experience. Liked the blue color. Function, ease of use, is like any strap wrench. I will mention I made the mistake of trying to pull attached end if the strap through the narrow gap and it got stuck - much fun trying to pull it back out - my bad. Like most strap wrenches, it specifies the maximum capacity but does not specify a minimum. Perhaps it is not necessary if you already know how to use it. However, that leads to the issue of not having much in the way of instructions on how to use. This one did come with a cardboard sleeve over the handle showing pictures of two positions, but the type of info found in the reviews here would have been a big add for this and any other strap wrench tool. Again, my thanks for the helpful reviews and responses.
