ya my wrenches get way too heavy after a few minutes. i need some of these. the only customers i can see needing these are thieves. no need to duct tape/plasti-dip/sound proof these babies. just grab them and start stealing crap. we should find their costumer base and go kick the crap out of everyone who buys them. lol.

I'll wait for the wratcheting set lol

Not everyone works at ground level, and some of us fly often (with our tools)

Ill probably be buying a set of these soon... and i dont even have everything a mech could want!

Also, theifs dont buy $140 dollar, carbon fiber speed wrenches, I think your a little out of touch on this =)

X2^ wouldn't they just steal them??

Hmmm. I missed that part. Where it says "Stainless Steel Teeth" I assumed they meant a ratchet and pawl.

Still, if I had money shooting out my butt every time I dropped a deuce, I'd buy a set just for giggles.

Not sure about them sharing SAE and metric on the same wrench tho. Just seems a little... Different? .:dunno:

I routinely interchange 13mm/1/2", etc to provide the right 'tightness' on bolt heads/nuts, so that doesnt bother me...

I did miss the non wratcheting part too...glad i didnt order these on first sight.

Looks like the edges would cut the crap out of your hand. As an aircraft mechanic, I cant think of one time where I've thought, "This tool needs to be lighter..." and that keeping in mind for me and the aircraft. It still has metal in the ends so, non-conductive/non-magnetic work is still out. Just wait until you drop it or get in a tight space and skin it and chip the edges of it. Frayed/dis-bonded carbon fiber hurts like hell! Our helicopter cowlings are made of the stuff and it'll get you good! My opinion, cool idea, poor execution.

I'm waiting on carbon fiber impact sockets.

The whole airplane I work on is composite. I've never been hurt handling finished panels and components. I bet those wrenches have a pretty thick outer coating on them.

I build cell site upgrades, and EVERY, SINGLE, DAY, I wish my tool bags were lighter...

but how will I use a carbon fiber wrench as a hammer?

 

[RedHeep]

That's what your ratchet is for, not your wrenches.

yeah, using a wrench is a n00b move.
