Jonard ToolsJIC-650, Lineman's B Type Double Ended Wrench, 13" Length

Its a wrench that does what its supposed to do. Works on both straight clamps and messenger (waffle) clamps for mounting communication lines to telephone poles. Good price and fast delivery. Happy with purchase.

First off I'm a distro/subtrans lineman. I have used k-bell wrenches in the past but never owned one, probably because I'm cheap but $80 seems a little steep for what they are. I got a couple of these back when they were like $25 a piece maybe 3-4 years ago (no brainer), I liked them so much I bought another for $40. If your a lineman or in CATV repair just buy this and thank me later.This tool is good for assembly but really shines for removal and disassembly. Hold bolts/nuts with this on back side of pole and hit your side with impact and you can remove hardware in a flurry. I keep one in my bucket tool board, one in my bin tool board and 1 in my ground bag. I don't climb with a bell wrench mostly to limit weight on my belt as I've already got a Lowell and channel locks, but I know many that do and leave the Lowell on the ground.For a simple tool it's pretty good for tightening/loosening (hardware, brace bolts, lags), but also shines at straightening 5/8 bolts/DA's, and is a decent hammer (great for removing ampact connectors).In summary if you work with wood pole line hardware pay $40-50 and buy this. It works as well as Klein for half the coin and is way easier to find in tall grass when you drop it.

Solid product. Perfect for distro work. Been wet a few times no rust. Fits nuts n bolts perfect from New Orleans to Long Island.. I’ll let you know when she sees the rest 😆

Purchased this for my husband, he is an apprentice lineman. He said it works great and he should have purchased it sooner.

Around here I guess our 3 bolts for guys and sizes smaller ? Just to much wiggle room.

Less than 1/2 price compared to Klein, but just as good if you get one that doesn't rust easily. I had two while at AT&T and both did not rust like other linemen's Bell Wrench. I think if you leave it out in the rain while in the bucket or on the pole, and do not dry it before storing, then it would be more likely to rust. I always used a towel to dry my lineman b wrench before putting it away in a locked bin on my truck. This Jonard one may even fit utility pole nuts better than the Klein blue one at $67 plus tax nowadays. I got the Jonard on sale for about $30 including tax.

Awesome for the price! Im a lineman and use this for primary work and telephone/communication work... what I liked most about it was the 4 different sizes that this has. My buddy had a Klein tool and it only fit 3....heavy enough to bang on things with too... good tool to have.... Conrad

The tool is handy ,good for working on 3/4 & 5/8 nut.good for hammering too..
