Pocket-sized wrench useful as it is handy

There are times when you need to quickly tighten or remove a nut but your tool kit is not at hand.

The Pocketwrench II lets you get the job done without a bunch of running about.

Small enough to be carried as it name suggests, this stainless steel tool is just 1/8″ thick, 4″ long, and 1″ wide. This makes it a good fit for your pocket or the glove compartment of your truck.

It will tighten or remove nuts from 3/16″ to 11/16″ or 5mm to 17mm.

One end is tapered for use as a pry or a screwdriver, and it includes a 1/4″ hex hole, which lets you to slip the wrench over a standard hex bit and apply extra torque.
