Wrenches
Black & Decker Auto Wrench
Trying to continually eek out innovations for the tried-and-true tool user, Black & Decker has introduced a powered adjustable wrench called-unsurprisingly-Auto Wrench.
The adjustment is made by a thumb control--press up to tighten, down to release.
The Auto Wrench is available at lots of retailers at this very moment.
Bionic Wrench Line Expands (and Shrinks)
The Bionic Wrench first made waves at last year's National Tool and Hardware Show, where it won several design awards (including Popular Mechanic's Editors Choice award). Now they've added 6" and 10" versions to compliment the original 8" model.
"LoggerHead Tools LLC is introducing 6- and 10-inch versions of its award-winning Bionic Wrench, a new class of hand tool that teams the versatility of an adjustable wrench with the simplicity of pliers. With the squeeze of a hand, the Bionic Wrench automatically sizes and grips a wide range of U.S. and metric-sized nuts and bolts, distributing equal force on all sides of a fastener."
What's more, their website also mentions a new "Bionic Grip" introduction at this year's hardware show. Stay tuned...
