It's a big wrench and I wanted a big wrench, but I am a bit disappointed in that what I received is not what is pictured. In stead of having the name "Olympia" forged into the handle the I got has it engraved/etched into the head of the wrench which is a pretty clear indicator that Olympia is sourcing these from whomever. Would have given it 5 stars had I received a wrench as depicted in the photo. Does it open to the 2.5" as claimed - yes. Is it heavy - yes. Will it perform the job I purchased it for - more than likely. Does it seem to be of decent quality - yes. This is clearly a lower end tool, but that's OK because I might only use it once every couple of years or so. If looking for a 24" adjustable wrench that I would be using on a regular basis, say in a work situation, I would look elsewhere and clearing I would expect to pay a much higher price. But, for a once-in-awhile situation for the non-professional this wrench is pretty good bang for the buck.**Quick Update: Having had the wrench for a while now and having used it a few times, more than I expected now that I have it, I find it to be a decent tool. Could it be of higher quality? You bet, but one would also expect to pay a much higher price. Again, if not using this in an everyday work situation but rather for ocassional use this wrench gets the job done.

Good solid Wrench, used to rebuild tractor hydraulic cylinders, survived a 6 foot cheater bar.

Good quality for the price.

Its actually 23 3/8 long, and its jaws open to exactly 2 1/2 inches. If you have ever been to the tractor supply store, they have this exact same adjustable, except it is labeled JobSmart. I'm very impressed with the fit and finish of this adjustable. Little slop of the jaw, yet has not locked up or flexed open under heavy loads including blows to the handle with a 6lb hammer. The thumb screw still works with one thumb, no bumping of the jaw required. No mushrooming or chipping to mention after hammering the handle repeatedly with moderate force. Upon further investigation of the metal I took a file to the head, and it's relatively hard to file, which tells me the steel and temper is of respectable quality.In comparison to the Crescent brand extra large adjustable wrench, the fitment is quite similar, same amount of play in the jaw and thumb wheel, steel is of almost same quality. The Olympia wrenches finish is very tough and even, with no chipping even after pounding, but the Crescent brand wrenches finish and thumb screw finish is a bit better. The Olympia wrenches handle is very thick, and I do not foresee it ever bending as it seems to have a good temper too, but the more pronounced I beam style handle of the crescent brand is stronger and slightly lighter.In conclusion, if you're going to put the fear of god in this wrench every day, it will hold its own, but the handle may become uncomfortable in the hand as it is a bit thinner than the flats of the Crescent brands I beam handle. If you're going to do the same, but in salt water every day, the Crescent brand may be the better choice.I have no idea how this can possibly be sold for $39 shipped, this is also the same price tractor supply sells their adjustable for.

If you're looking for a big adjustable wrench, this should do it! Arrived exactly as described. The 15" version is large enough for most home, auto and light industrial use cases. There is a 24" version for those that need something even larger (e.g., farm equipment and heavy industrial scenarios).This 15" wrench has jaws that can open just over ~ 1-3/4" (1.75 inches), while still being reasonable in overall weight and size. The 24" version of this wrench opens 2-3/4" (2.75 inches).Olympia is a low-cost brand targeting the light duty DIY market. A lot of value for the price if you're just looking to get something done during a weekend project or two. No complaints!

Typical cheap chinese wrench like you would get at HF but with a laser etch, kind of loosie goosie, not for heavy use as it would wear out quickly. Got it to carry in boat emergency toolkit where hopefully it never gets used. It was under 6 bucks so it is as expected.
