Editorial Reviews:

The Bionic Wrench offers the versatility of an adjustable wrench combined with the ease of use of a pair of pliers. Through its patented technology, the Bionic Wrench adds tremendous gripping force on all 6 flat sides of a nut or bolt without the wrench slipping off or damaging the nut/bolt.


User Comments about the Loggerhead Tools BW6-01R-01 Adjustable 6-Inch Bionic Wrench

Havent tried them yet but will let you know how they work after Christmas. Shopping online at Amazon makes it easy and most of all a big saving too, never have to fight traffic, or get wet or cold, and save on gas, you dont have to go anywhere, just click and pay, most of the items that I order from Amazon are shipped the very next day. Amazon you have done it again with great prices and free shipping to boot. Any new tool is good, this one is new and looks like it could do the job, this is a Christmas gift for the mechanic in our house. This tool looks sturdy and its well built. Thanks again Amazon for a job well done. I also purchased the matching 8" Loggerhead Bionic Wrench.



I purchased both the 6" and the 8" wrenches. The grip is tight, and they worked well. They do work well in tight places, as long as they are able to lay flat ~ but work best in open areas.



As it is, I have tried several times to use the bionic wrench, each time unsuccessfully. 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. Maybe I've just had difficult applications for it. 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. *Note: this review is based on the 8-inch version*I received this as a gift without ever having heard of the bionic wrench. Sometimes I can't get it in to where I need it, and have to get my adjustable. I dunno, I've tried it several times and just don't have a real use for it. 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.
