Wright Tools

 

 

I received this test products free of charge but the opinions are 100% my own.

 

 

A special thank you to Wright Tools for the great package.

 

 

This is what they sent to me. A wrench, a box of bolts, a bolt anchor?(for lack of a better word)and an instruction sheet on how to preform the test.

 

One thing I want to mention before we get into the tech stuff.

 

Wright tools are made in the U.S.A.

 

Included in the "Wright Grip" demonstration:

9/16 wright grip combination wrench

 

Mandrel(the bolt anchor that I mentioned earlier)

 

Bolts to use for demo



Demo Directions:

1.Secure fastener to immobile surface (check)

 



2.Hand tighten bolt (check)

 

3.Find any other brand of 9/16 wrench and tighten to failure(failure for this demonstration is defined as rounding off the bolt edges)(check)

 

4.DO NOT REMOVE BOLT(check)

 

5.Take wright tools 9/16" combination wrench, place open end on same rounded corner of  bolt and continue to tighten.(check)

 

**Note: the bolt will continue to tighten and not round off which will cause the bolt head to snap!

 

6.You have just completed the Wright Demo and have witnessed the quality and ingenuity that Wright Tool offers to everyone of its customers.

 

This picture is not a very good one but if you look at the bolt head you can see where the Wright Grip wrench left marks on it.

 

-------My Results------

 

This was very hard for me. I was tempted to say what I thought they expected me to say. When I thought about starting this blog I told myself that I would give honest reviews. That is the whole purpose of this blog. So, I don't know if this is going to ruin my blog but here goes!

 

 

I followed the instructions just as they said. The other brand of wrench I used was a Snap On. I tightened the bolt as far as I could, putting all my strength into it. The edges did not round off. I then put the open end of the Wright Grip wrench on the bolt. I was able to tighten the bolt another 3/4 of a turn but the head did not snap. The bolt head had deep ridges in it where the Teeth of the Wright Grip wrench gripped it. I had my husband repeat the same exact procedure that I did and his results were that the head started to round off so he put the Wright Grip wrench on the bolt and it did tighten another full turn but didn't snap the head.

 

I am going to repeat this test with 2 other kinds of wrenches because I want to be able to give more in depth results. So please check back to see the other results.

 

Just to make sure that my readers understand that this wrench is a great product. The teeth give you a lot more contact, less slippage and is very sturdy.
