Black & Decker AAW100 8-Inch Auto Wrench Adjusting Wrench

Editorial Review:

When you find yourself in a tight spot, trying to tighten a hard-to-reach nut, this Black & Decker 8" Automatic Adjustable Wrench will save the day. Powered by 2 AAA batteries, the AAW100 helps you get a grip in cirumstances where you normally couldn't. What a helpful home maintenance tool! Battery Life - 650 Cycles Black & Decker 2 Year Warranty
Manually adjusting a wrench to fit particular nuts and bolts can be a real hassle, especially in tight spaces. Enter Black & Decker's battery-powered Auto Wrench, a phenomenally handy tool that opens and closes with the push of a button. Boasting 220 foot-pounds of torque, this wrench is powerful enough to handle most household tasks, from car repair to fixing leaks.
The Auto Wrench is not meant to replace specialty tools like pipe or torque wrenches, but the jaws open wide enough (up to 1-1/4-inch) so that it could conceivably replace a range of manual wrenches sitting in your toolkit. This is an ideal product for someone looking to buy a wrench that's both easy to use and versatile. At 8-inches, you could toss it in the silverware drawer and whip it out when you need it.
The area where this wrench really shines is in hard-to-reach spots where mobility is obscured, such as under sinks. A typical situation where the Auto Wrench would help might be one in which you're awkwardly reaching for a nut underneath the kitchen faucet. With a comparable manual wrench, it's conceivable you would fumble around with the adjusting mechanism for minutes on end, and then toss a fit. With the Auto Wrench, you'd simply press a button (positioned where you rest your thumb) and the jaws would open or close to your specifications.
We were a bit skeptical when we learned the Auto Wrench takes AA batteries and doesn't include a rechargeable battery. This means you'll need to keep some extra batteries around the house - or buy some rechargeable batteries -- if you use it frequently. However, the wrench isn't a power hog by any means. Black & Decker says you can get 650 cycles out of two AA batteries, which should be plenty for most people.

versatile tool:

My wife uses this amazing wrench around the house and loves how easy it is to use.

Not Great:

I got this last year for Christmas and used it maybe 2 times. Not real powerful but for small house jobs Ok. Then it went back into tool box, now 6 month later I was going to use it again. The batteries were dead No big deal and easy to exchange. After installing new batteries the motor ran but the jaws would not move. So I take it apart and the drive belt had broke. Thats after using 2 times-Maybe it dry rotted because it feels like its made of plastic rubber like substance. So I called B&D to try to... more info

Horrible idea:

There is no reason for anyone to have ever designed this product. It is just ridiculous to think that it would work better than original design.

This Auto Monkey Wrench Really Helps!!:

This monkey wrench may be one of the most groundbreaking tools when it comes to DIY. Just insert 2 AAA dry batteries inside the handle in black, and you will be able to adjust the inch automatically. I decided to get this tremendous one as soon as I came across this in some DIY shop! The price was reasonable and flexibility drew my attention. Of course, you can adjust the inch manually like most typical wrenches. If not, I wouldn't have bought this wrench and I couldn't have given it 5 stars on this review.
