There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

I have used it a few time on the buses at work and it is great, good tool for the road call box. It grips really well and with the adjustor end going to 1-1/4, I can even use it to tighen down PP1 valve nuts. I have a 10 inch adjustable wrend and it only opens to 1". | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,897 Member | | Member Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,897 | Which tool truck has them?

If it sells good and works with out to many complanits, then the will start stamping them out as Snap-on. Also the price jumps when the put on the snap-on name. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 85 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 85 | They are also called "Shark Wrenches". I have seen them used backstage. A Swedish foreign student working at the local college theater had the first one I saw -- she was cute but I didn't understand a word she said. Then last spring, one of the roadguys on "Phantom" had one and knew the whole story on them. He was in England on a rock'n'roll tour and got one from the crew there. They used them for setting up scaffolding, the shark jaw could get a grip on the 2" wingnuts on cheesborough connectors [especially if you set the hole on the 3/8" allthread and spin the 'wing' from the inside], and the spanner head was good on setting lights. I forgot the Swedish manufacturer's name. I want one too.
Every 25 years I like to rebuild that 292 just for GP

Most of that stuff doesn't work well, and messes up more stuff than fixing it. Even Craftsman is pushing junk tools now that look good for BOB Villa, but work like S*** for me! :p :p :mad:
