What a Wrench

Everybody needs a good wrench. You could go, say, with your monkey, your pipe, your socket -- but those are so last century. Why not go for that next generation spanner? Crescent's RapidRench works on 38 different bolts, wing nuts, hook eyes, and more. And if you want a wrench with batteries, the Black & Decker 8-inch automatic adjustable loosens just about any nut (up to 1 1/4 inches in diameter).
