The 8-inch Bionic Wrench is unlike any wrench you’ve ever seen before. In fact, it looks and works more like pliers than a wrench. This cleverly designed tool has a pair of spring-loaded handles and a circular head that’s fitted with six hardened steel jaws. As you squeeze the handles, all six jaws slide toward the center and lock onto the head of the nut or bolt. This unique mechanism allows the Bionic Wrench to grip hexagonal, square and even rounded fasteners. It fits… More >>

Tool is OK for general household work. Not sure how it will hold up for heavy work.

I don’t usually write reviews for tools–I’m more a literature guy. Still, when I saw the negative reviews for this gadget tool, I felt I had to put in my two cents.
First, the tool does what it’s designed to do. It’s a great adjustable wrench that helps grip nuts and bolts with great force. It’s easy to use, very much intuitive. You place it over the nut or bolt head, squeeze, and turn. With very little practice, you develop a quick rhythm of releasing the grip, returning the wrench to a start position, and gripping again for a other tightening or loosening turn, much like a ratchet. It’s all really quite simple.
Of course, if you’re doing work where you require a ratchet with an angle head or an extension to increase your reach to get you into tight spaces, e.g. engine work or some other application where you would NEVER use pliers, then don’t go reaching for the Bionic Wrench expecting miracles! It works like a plier works, as advertised, so it’s foolish to expect anything else from this tool. Sticking it deep into an engine where your hand barely reaches and expecting it to accomplish the impossible just because it’s called “bionic” is just plain silly.
That said, if you’re looking for a well-made, durable tool to take the place of several box wrenches and pliers for simple tasks, then this is your tool. If you’re looking for some magic method for removing your exhaust manifold, hire a professional mechanic and leave the work to someone smart enough to choose the right tools for the job.
