A different take on the standard adjustable wrench. Here's the manufacturer's video of it in action.

Despite the picture showing SAE, the number Irwin 207040711 corresponds to their metric set. 6", 10", and 12" are the wrench lengths in this set.

That. Is. Awesome. I will be in big trouble if I buy some.

I'm not sure I trust the mechanism to get tight enough around nuts at strange angles. The reason the worm drive wrenches are great is you can continuously tighten them as you wiggle them around on the nut. The tighter the grip, the less chance of rounding the nut when you turn it.

@idrivea911: I have the cobalt version of this and they work great. The only problem I have come across is sometimes you will get the wrench too tight on the nut and it makes it nearly impossible to losses the wrench when your done.

Overall though, I am pleased with its performance.

I have a craftsman version of this too. It's worked wonderfully for me. For things that I'm worried about rounding, I generally use a set of box-end wrenches. This is for quick fixes, not something that I'd want to rely on.

Irwin still makes good tools.......but they closed down their US production in 2008 and set up shop in China. If the goal was to lower costs, then the prices should have dropped as well. Instead prices have remained the same.
"Made in China" is in such small print on the backs of the packages, it's almost as if they are embarrassed of themselves.
I cannot bring myself to buy any more Irwin products.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
