Should be in the WTF thread.

i think the three-plus pounds of metal hanging-down from your 'brass' knuckles would slow you down while swinging.

I could see how that would not work out so well...
Guy uses the brass knuckles, the opponent grabs the wrench...
About the only way one could use this is as a mace. Making it a weapon, not a wrench.
Kind of fits with the whole "Gee officer, they're not brass knuckles, it's my belt buckle."

Can’t believe no one said the raised panel makes it worthless.

LOL. This deserves to be preserved:
deathwrench.com "NUT BUSTER" - $60
***MADE IN PHOENIX AZ!!***
The deathwrench.com Nut Buster™ is 17 ¾ inches of pure, unbottled havoc. Fashioned from 3/8" hot rolled steel and weighing in at more than 3 lbs., there is almost no problem it can't solve. It makes a great tire-thumper for performing those daily safety inspections (I'm all about safety), and as it happens, the span of the wrench is 2 inches... So if you have a 2 inch nut anywhere on your rig, you should probably have one of these with you at all times. You wouldn't want that bad boy comin' loose on ya.
***LEGAL NOTICE*** The Nut Buster™ is not a weapon, and it should not be used as such. Doing so will most likely result in your incarceration. We are not responsible for any damages to persons or property.

I did like the legal notice, though calling it a "Deathwrench" kinda trumps that.
For 20 years I've kept a cut-off old hockey stick between the seat and rocker. Got pulled over years ago and the officer noticed it. All he asked was, "do you play hockey?" I said, "yes, how'd you know?" He replied, "that explains the hockey stick", and that was that. He knew what it was, I was being cool to him and he was being cool to me.
Pretty funny that I can legally carry a firearm but I can't legally have a 16" stick in the car specifically meant for protection.

I made myself a trench knife some time back that bears a resemblance to the deathwrench, but it the knuckles are brass and the rest of it is a huge knife.
Fun fact...the WW1 trench knives on which it is based really weren't designed to be used as brass knuckles. It was an attempt to make it easier to hang onto the the damn thing while you were crawling on your belly across no-mans land.
Yeah. That would have sucked.
So...the wrench above would be perfect for when you are combat crawling across the garage to reach a nut or bolt while the huns are trying to take you out from the other side of the bays.

I used to have an aluminum baseball bat in the gun rack in my pickup, on the hook was also a softball glove, and I think I had a couple softballs in the glove box for effect. Of course, I also used the gun rack for it's intended purpose, but that was back in the days where they weren't looked at the way they are now.

I leave a pistol in the truck, and often have another on my person. This must be what felons dream up when they can't get their civil rights restored. I appreciate the creativity though.
24th St. And Broadway.....That's a real lovely part of town. Great area to be carrying your Deathwrench.

Didn't think of it that way.
It's tax refund season. I phrased it to a buddy, "it's don't buy for the other guy, season", with sarcasm. It's that time when you see dudes picking out guns and having their girlfriends apply and pay for them. It's also often the most entertaining time of year to hit the gun shows.
oh, this is what I'm talking about.

I put this in the same category as fantasy swords and big bowie knives - ultra macho and totally useless.

I wonder if it comes in a full polish version.
That would be more appropriate for the name, right?
Just kidding, lol.
Someone had to say it.
Actually, this is nothing new. Search "knuckle buster knife" on Google.

I'd like to see them try to use that Mild steel "thing" as a wrench.

OK, I know I'm not the only one who keeps reading the title and thinking of a Death/Black metal band.

If it’s not them it might be the Kiss cover band “Kiss The Ground”.

Might as well put brass knuckles on a crowbar, that might at least be somewhat usable - especially "fighting" to open a difficult packing crate?

I think I'll wait for the HF Pittsburgh model and use a 20% coupon.
But Sometimes you can't control that. I'm assuming you're talking about using a firearm, but that wasn't an option some years back.
And, sometimes a stick may be enough for a particular situation. You don't bring out the dynamite when a chisel will do the job. Also, more so, if the gun is in the lockbox you should not be helpless between the time you unlock the door and punch in the lockbox code.
Frankly, I'd never let someone get close enough where I had to resort to a stick!
