  • Today we dive deep into the manufacturing of a new size adjustable wrench for sale on my website at www.handtoolrescue.com
    This smaller pocket wrench is a new version of the wrench we have been making for years. Every part is now fully machined resulting in much tighter tolerances and a better fit and finish than ever before.
    This video is in the style of Season 1 of How It's Made hosted by Canadian Olympic swimming gold-medalist @themarktewksburychannel6647 .
    Unsurprisingly, I loved this show and consider it a perfect piece of Canadiana.
    Wrenches, screwdrivers, and socket drivers are now for sale at www.handtoolrescue.com

If you aren't familiar with them, they build racecar parts (and AN wrenches), they amassed an amazing aray of CNC machinery to build some amazing products.

    I've had a mini wrench for a little over a year and absolutely love it. I'm a facility director forced to spend too much of my time behind a desk, but my HTR Mini is a "can't go without it" part of my EDC. I use it frequently - this morning I used it to remove a panel on an AC condenser, yesterday I used it to prop up my cell phone for a project meeting. If anyone here still questions the cost after seeing this video, put your money where your mouth is and buy one. You'll quickly change your tune.

    • @konohh
      @konohh Рік тому +7

      For crying out loud. Its an turbo encabulator ATTENUATOR veeblefetzer flyback arrangement. Otherwise all other coriolis effect affected wreches never (and there is scientific proof), nerver ever will get even close to any fresnic freen modulation motion damping what so ever. I'm pretty sure, the host was very well aware of this issue.

    • @doczoff5655
      @doczoff5655 Рік тому +13

      ​@@konohh No, David is correct, 'encabulator assisted' produces the flyback result, 'attenuator modified' is a modification deliberately applied to cause the flyback effect to fail over into the 'walk back a bloody long way' state. Your mistake is a common misconception that has been perpetualised by the author Veet Verlgunspart, who misrepresented encabulator resonance displacement when he used it as the main plot element in his best selling novel 'Ah crap it happened again!'. If he'd used graphtoid dissonance theory instead his book would've been factually more accurate but far less smutty, especially that really racey bit on page 92!
