Description of Black & Decker AAW100 8-Inch Auto Wrench Adjusting Wrench

Instantly adjusts with the touch of a button. Rubber over molded grip. 1 1 8" opening. 2 "AAA" batteries, over 650 uses per set of batteries. Works both manual and powered.
Manually adjusting a wrench to fit particular nuts and bolts can be a real hassle, especially in tight spaces. Enter Black & Decker's battery-powered Auto Wrench, a phenomenally handy tool that opens and closes with the push of a button. Boasting 220 foot-pounds of torque, this wrench is powerful enough to handle most household tasks, from car repair to fixing leaks.

The Auto Wrench is not meant to replace specialty tools like pipe or torque wrenches, but the jaws open wide enough (up to 1-1/4-inch) so that it could conceivably replace a range of manual wrenches sitting in your toolkit. This is an ideal product for someone looking to buy a wrench that's both easy to use and versatile. At 8-inches, you could toss it in the silverware drawer and whip it out when you need it.

The area where this wrench really shines is in hard-to-reach spots where mobility is obscured, such as under sinks. A typical situation where the Auto Wrench would help might be one in which you're awkwardly reaching for a nut underneath the kitchen faucet. With a comparable manual wrench, it's conceivable you would fumble around with the adjusting mechanism for minutes on end, and then toss a fit. With the Auto Wrench, you'd simply press a button (positioned where you rest your thumb) and the jaws would open or close to your specifications.

We were a bit skeptical when we learned the Auto Wrench takes AA batteries and doesn't include a rechargeable battery. This means you'll need to keep some extra batteries around the house - or buy some rechargeable batteries -- if you use it frequently. However, the wrench isn't a power hog by any means. Black & Decker says you can get 650 cycles out of two AA batteries, which should be plenty for most people.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker AAW100 8-Inch Auto Wrench Adjusting Wrench

Customer Review: Nice Surprise
Summary: 4 Stars

The auto wrench by B&D was a pleasant surprise. It is much better than I expected and although it is not the first tool I go for when needing an adjustable wrench, it has proven to be handy in tight places where it is hard to close the jaws on a bolt head. The wrench is also designed without a lot of slop in the jaws when closed down on a bolt head.

It is not my "best" tool, but I am glad I added it to my collection.
