Husky 2x adjustable wrench

Husky tweaked their adjustable wrench design so that it adjusts twice as fast as ordinary adjustables.

When shaking the wrench, it jingles like a baby's rattle, but I can forgive a bit of play seeing as how it really does adjust much faster than regular adjustable wrenches. An extra thread on the knurl presumably makes up for any loss in strength.

I won't give up my USA and Spanish-made adjustable wrenches, but I might pick up one or two to go in my portable and loaner tool kits.

These seem to be priced to compete with Crescent and Kobalt adjustables.

I saw it in store and it looked to me like all they did was change the angle of the threads on the adjusting wheel so it adjusts faster?


Edit: Yep. just read your comparison on the review.


Lol do they make a Metric version?

Yep, that's how it works. Not mind-blowingly awesome, but a neat twist.

I wasn't aware that normal adjustable wrenches took so long to adjust. My Bahco, Kongsberg, Kamasa, Toptul, CK, Proto and other brands of adjustable wrenches seem to work just fine.

I imagine that the only thing you'll get by changing the angle of the threads is a wrench that slips and rattles more.

I guess innovation is something that is becoming increasingly difficult to have. Was this released as a X-mas gimmick?
