Customer Reviews:

Seems like it should work, but WHERE? [Posted on 2007-01-28]
*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.
