How tight does these hold? Reason I ask is a lot of my adjustable wrenches currently come off the bolt or can strip, they seem cheap. Looking for a quality set. Klein has never disappointed just don't know they compare.

This is not a US made Klein tool - it is something Klein buys in Korea and re-brands. That said, true professionals never use adjustable wrenches for just the reason you mentioned: adjustable wrenches round off the shoulders. Some adjustable wrenches are better than others, but their use should be limited to homeowners with rare use. Buy a decent set of imperial and metric open end wrenches Smilie

Plumbers definitely use adjustables on a regular basis. I'm not sure what professionals you're talking about.

Channellock best overall for the price not made in usa tho, by irega in spain same as wiha, wight tools and maybe a few other brands. Plumbersstock.com has great prices on Channellock. Milwaukee stays in place due to 5-6 threads on the wheel. Its the only one that jaws dont really move or rattle but downside jaws are thick. Bahco stays tight, smooth adjustment but the jaws are more slimmer/cumbersome vs traditional wrenches. If you were only to get 1 adjustable wrench get Channellock 8wcb wideazz 1.5 jaw opening. Grips are more personal preference but can cut it off and its normal finish metal. And yes, adjustable wrench still has place over pliers wrench in certain situations!
Avoid cheap China made ones they lose adjustments. Take a wrench, hold by handle and start shaking. Low quality ones jaws will move. Good quality ones wont or very little.
