Jun 4 2008 Handwrench Is A Real Hand Wrench, But Not A Real Hand, Or A Real Practical Wrench

This is the Handwrench by designer Paul Julius Martus. It's a hand wrench, with a little hand on the end. BWAHAH HA HA HA! Some people, so clever. I'm pretty sure it's just an art piece though, seeing how your little fingers would probably break off if you were trying to bust a real serious nut loose. Still, Paul gets clever points for being clever with the little hand. But I get 2x clever points for that bust a nut thing I said.

Now if you're a woman you're probably thinking to yourself, "You know, I should probably be in the kitchen cooking something". And I wouldn't argue . Kidding ladies! That only applies to my wife. But if you're a guy you're probably thinking, "Is my firstborn son worth the $8,600 pricetag?" And the answer, sadly, is no. You're gonna have to sell the second one too.

Aug 1 2007 X Beam is a twisted wrench

The X-Beam wrench is an attempt at revolutionizing the traditional wrench by adding a twist down the middle. The simple twist gives a larger area and more ergonomic grip than traditional wrenches. It's a great idea, I just wish they went the route of the S2 hammer and added some "elastomeric shockgaskets" to it. You can never have too many made-up features is what I always say.
