Size Doesn't Matter
Desperately searching for the right size wrench to twist off that nut? The Loggerhead Tools Bionic Wrench, an adjustable wrench with a pliers-like grip, can help. Suitable for both the left and right hands, it grabs onto the bolt and, with the squeeze of your hand, automatically sizes and grips 16 different sized nuts and bolts, using equal force on all sides. No more searching for the perfect fit - and you can free up a lot of space in your toolbox because you'll only need this one handy tool.

Not Too Tight
The serious mechanic doesn't want to spend time sweating and grunting over a stubborn, extra-tightened bolt. That's what the professional quality Snap-on XT7100 Impact Wrench is for. With 700-foot pounds of torque and 1300 blows per minute, it nearly halves bolt removal time. A biased tip valve design increases air flow to the motor for instant starts as soon as the trigger get pulled. Plus, its non-slip handle and reduced vibration are easier on your hands if you've got a bear of a job to tackle.

Hand Off
Locking pliers are great, but that little matter of gripping with one hand, while locking with the other, can get frustrating, especially if a little perspiration is involved. The LockJaw Self Adjusting Locking Pliers let you grab an object with one hand tied behind your back. A dual Cam mechanism lets the plier jaws automatically clamp on without any adjusting. It also has a range of grips, using a delicate pressure for more fragile work or a full-on power steel-crimping grip.
