Loosens and tightens almost anything. Cushion grip for maximum comfort. Won’t harm finish. Contains 4″ and 6-3/8″ sizes.
Customer Review: Outstanding Tool
This is an outstanding tool for the right application. There are a number of times that a standard wrench is not the right tool such as for loosening and/or tightening cylindrically or asymmetrically shaped objects. I am pleased with this particular tool in particular as the strap lock mechanism is of a much better design than a similar tool sold under the Craftsman brand.
Customer Review: Another Viewpont…
Contrary to other users’ experiences, we were able to easily change a shower head and a faucet by using only this type of grip wrench.
The most important use I have for it, however, is the opening of everyday items that require grip strength. With rheumatoid arthritis and resulting painful, misshapen hands, I face situations several times a day that would be impossible for me to handle alone if it were not for my supply of strap/grip wrenches. I can open jars and twist-type bottle caps by using two of them (facing different directions, one to hold, one to turn the lid or cap), turn garden hose fittings, doorknobs and even control dials on the washer and range. The rubber strap does the gripping and the handle provides leverage that makes these tasks a snap. I have them in every room and keep at least one in my purse.
Although I don’t own this specific wrench, my supply includes a variety of brands, the best ones of which have this design. It’s important that the strap be very flexible and held in place by the head of the tool rather than a slot in the handle (which requires the hand to maintain the tension on the strap, negating the main benefit).
For people who because of aging or disability find their hands too painful or too weak to grip, twist, pinch or turn, a wrench like this is a boon! Buy Now
