    Just in time for Christmas the wife wrench. small enough to fit in to the tight spaces a normal man cant. smart enough to know how to fix what needs to be done and not afraid to get hands dirty. and lets face it when was the last time you took your wrench to bed......disclamer...I DO NOT LOAN TOOLS OUT TO ANYONE SO DO NOT BOTHER ASKING. and remember if you treat your tools right they will last a lifetime.
    please note hourly rates very on how much you made the last trip out and how pissed off the tool is at any 1113150856-00.jpg given moment

    Can this tool be traded in for a newer/more flexible version if it becomes damaged or broken?

    please note new tools are higher maintenance and are much more expensive to maintain. although most new ones are mail order from china. mine was made in Germany where only high quality tools are made but was forged in America by military parents so you know it is super high quality and non replaceable

    Frequent use of wife wrench will make you eligible for the kid wrench upgrade. While not as versatile as a wife wrench, the kid wrench excels at retrieving small parts dropped into otherwise inaccessible areas. Becomes completely useless once you've had it approximately 13 years but generally becomes reliable again some time after the 21st year.

    That's a rare one. I think most of us are better off figuring out another way as with all the grumbling and complaining that would accompany any such job would just make it really not worth the hassle.

    What do the ends of that wrench look like? Are they multi-purpose?
