Here’s our full hands-on review of Kobalt’s new Multi Drive Wrench. Part 1 showed covered “fastener fit“, and this review covers quality and hands-on performance.

How Well Does the Kobalt Multi Drive Wrench Fit Hex Fasteners?

Nov 16, 2010 Stuart 34 Comments

I couldn’t help myself, I purchased a Kobalt Multi Drive Wrench for review (more info about the new tool here). The full hands-on review of the universal wrench is in the works, but I wanted to share these photos about how well (or poorly) the wrench’s sockets fit fasteners.

During a recent visit to my local Home Depot, I snapped a few more close-up pics of the new Husky universal ratcheting rotary wrench. The above photo shows the 5/16″ socket of the new 48-in-1 dog bone wrench, and below are photos of the 9/16″ socket.

Husky Ratcheting Rotary Wrench Reader Review

Nov 5, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

UPDATE: It has come to light that “Jason” may be a shill for Home Depot, Husky or one of their agents. As such, please DISREGARD this post until our investigation is complete. We currently believe that the review left by “Jason” is FAKE. The other day we introduced (and ragged on) Husky’s new 48-in-1 ratcheting rotary […]

Husky 48 in 1 Ratcheting Rotary Socket Wrench – Another Dog Bone

Nov 3, 2010 Stuart 12 Comments

Dan sent us a heads-up about Husky’s new universal spline ratcheting wrench. I was already heading off to Home Depot that day, so I made a point to check it out. This Husky 48-in-1 “ratcheting rotary socket wrench” is essentially a universal dog bone wrench similar in design to Black & Decker’s new ratcheting ReadyWrench.

Black & Decker Ratcheting ReadyWrench (Dog Bone Wrench)

Sep 20, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

Black & Decker’s ratcheting ReadyWrench takes their highly successful ReadyWrench dog bone all-in one style wrench to the next level. Like the original, the ratcheting ReadyWrench can also fit 16 fastener sizes in 8 sockets, but appears to be more compact and has a handy (15°?) offset at both ends.

Thorsen Dog Bone Wrench Sets at Costco

Jul 26, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

After we posted about Channellock’s Mutli-Fit wrench set and Alex’s heads-up about Craftsman’s Dog Bone wrench set sale, Jeff spotted the Thorsen-branded Dog Bone multi-socket set at Costco. At $15-20 each, Dog Bone wrenches are a tough sell for a number of reasons. But $17 for the set of SAE and metric wrenches? That’s much more tempting. […]

Channellock Multi-Fit (Dog Bone) Socket Wrenches

Jul 15, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

Spotted these Channellock-branded “Multi-Fit 8-in-1” dog bone socket wrenches over at the local BJs Wholesale Club. If I recall correctly, the set was around $20 or less. You won’t find these tools in Channellock’s main catalog, and they’re not made in the USA, but they seem to be of reasonable quality.

Well looky here, it looks like there’s a new DogBone style wrench on the market. The Black & Decker MSW100 ReadyWrench is an all-in-one wrench that offers the 16 most popular standard and metric socket sizes. “No more guesswork. No more lost or missing sockets. Stop wasting time searching for the right socket.” We cannot […]
