A crazy vintage German wrench design. Germans are too technical while making tools.💯

The type of tool you mourn forever if you lose it

@KevinSparx1236 But they had old wooden doors on their gas chambers. Riiight.

This is why Germans are the best engineers

Precisely!

Why didn't this design become the norm?

This looks less like a wrench and more like a mechanical thesis.

On the contrary German engineers keep things simple and practical and thats why there products last and work so good.

I second your comment!

My retard brain was like "Oh yeah? Let's see it turn left though" Beyond help

German company WERA tools improved the self-adjustable wrench and sells it as "JOKER" wrench:

This is why Germans should be in charge of the world

Those crazy Germans...

WTF. I WANT TO BUY THIS, GIVE LINK

WERA makes a modern version of these wrenches they are awesome

Neat for those rare nuts and bolts that have a country mile of access. It requires a bunch of useless movement before it does any work and it has a massive head.

"crazy vintage German wrench design"... "too technical"...

wtf have you tried to use an adjustable wrench it’s like 10x slower than this

Its an Anglo-American invention, Joseph Warren Calef , but your post is more proof the internet now exists for collectivist people like Germans to spam their revisionism regardless of the truth.

That's a nice wrench.

Germans understood that a tool should outlast its owner. Most wrenches today are disposable garbage by comparison.

Threading nuts with an open ended adjustable wrench comes after a 12 point socket but before vice grips.

This would be absolutely WONDERFUL for raising and lowering server rack feet.

@Ttviter Поэтому Knipex - лучшее, что я знаю в области подобных ключей. Не жалко денег за хороший инструмент, он окупает себя быстро и с удовольствием.

And yet they designed “gas chambers” with wooden doors 😂

your mother is too technical while making love

It's fine for free thread spinning but the second it hits pressure it will pop open.

I had one of these and I hated it. You're always fiddling trying to get a bite, and in a cramped space just forget it

Why aren't the Chinese copying this? :-) This should be on everyone's shelf. It's such a nice design!

Yeah because creating another moving part was an improvement. I hate that damn thumb wheel 😂

Ha! what if you want to use it to tighten the nut? Checkmate, losers

Nice, but is there a left handed version?

You have hear is say "Ja" every time it opens its mouth.

Ok. Want a modern billet version. Do yall remember the Craftsman Robo Grip??

Being an apprentice to a German toolmaker was the best work experience in my life. Not for the faint of heart.

If German engineering is so good then why couldn't they do better than a wooden door with a 2" gap & a window that opened inward as gas chamber door.
