Loggerhead Tools BW6-01R-01 Adjustable 6-Inch Bionic Wrench

by Loggerhead Tools

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The 6-Inch Bionic Wrench is a remarkable patented hybrid of an adjustable wrench with the ease of use of a pair of pliers. In addition, the genius of attacking a bolt/nut on all 6 flat sides removes the stress and strain on the corners of the bolt. This coupled with the superior gripping action of the jaws, allows the user to complete their work without the wrench slipping off and damaging the bolt. The design of the 6-Inch Bionic Wrench multiplies your hand's gripping force, so you can more easily tighten/loosen bolts. You can develop ratchet-like speed by fully turning the 6-Inch Bionic Wrench, release the grip while still on the bolt, reposition wrench, tighten grip-repeat until finished. The 6-Inch Bionic Wrench covers 14 sized fasteners from 1/4-9/16-Inch and from 7mm-14mm. Winner of 2005 Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award, the Chicago Athenaeum Award, The International Forum Design Award, and the red dot international design award. Quality Made in the USA.

*Note: this review is based on the 8-inch version*
I received this as a gift without ever having heard of the bionic wrench. After I figured it out -- which was not as intuitive as it probably should be -- I thought it would make a good replacement for an adjustable end (crescent) wrench, and possibly easier than finding the right socket. As it is, I have tried several times to use the bionic wrench, each time unsuccessfully. Sometimes I can't get it in to where I need it, and have to get my adjustable. Other times I can't get enough grip on the handle (because it interferes with the part surface) while the business end of the wrench is on a bolt, and I need a socket. Oh, and the grip it gets on a bolt head is too dependent on your hand strength, kind of like a channel-lock, so I wouldn't even try it at times when I know I'll need to put some muscle into getting a bolt broken loose -- too much chance of stripping the head.

It seems like it should be a great little tool, like a self-adjusting adjustable crescent wrench. Maybe I've just had difficult applications for it? I dunno, I've tried it several times and just don't have a real use for it.

Ingenius - works very well. I use two to apply even pressure to small items to unscrew without damaging them.

Any new tool is good, this one is new and looks like it could do the job, this is a Christmas gift for the mechanic in our house. Havent tried them yet but will let you know how they work after Christmas. This tool looks sturdy and its well built. I also purchased the matching 8" Loggerhead Bionic Wrench. Amazon you have done it again with great prices and free shipping to boot! Shopping online at Amazon makes it easy and most of all a big saving too, never have to fight traffic, or get wet or cold, and save on gas, you dont have to go anywhere, just click and pay, most of the items that I order from Amazon are shipped the very next day. Thanks again Amazon for a job well done.
