As many of you know, I've been out of BIG wrenches for some time now. Actually the material had been cut and sitting on my bench for almost a year. Well, now I have a CNC lathe and can do the massive material removal that these require in addition to some fancy stuff.

I've had these floating around in my head for some time but just didn't have the equipment to execute the designs. Well now I do!

So with a bit of input from my wife on one of these, I'm raising the bar.

These new wrenches are more than half the weight of the originals.
Original: 1.8ozs
New style: 0.8ozs

This rounds out the line to 32 Wrench configurations that I now produce.

These are all available in both 3/16" Hex or 5mm Hex Sockets. (Tri-Lobe is only available in 3/16" at this time)

Hope y'all like them...

The "Wheely"




The "5 Spoke"



The "Racer"



The "Tri-Lobe"
This one is my wife Agne's idea as she sees many elderly patients with arthritis. She believes that this type of design should be easier to rotate for those with onset arthritis. (I just made what she told me to.)



And of course the "Original"




It'll be a few months before I run these again. Just FYI.

I like Agne's design. Won't roll very far when you drop it on a dark stage. : )

Michael - my 'racer' wrenches arrived today. They are superbly engineered, beautiful to look at and wonderful to use. Thanks my friend, you are a genius at what you do.

Yes Tony, I do. 3 different .109's.

Single http://psgparts.com/Wrench-Tuning-Pedal-Steel-Single-7-64-TL-SI-109ALL.htm

Double 3/16"-.109 http://psgparts.com/Wrench-Tuning-Pedal-Steel-Double-3-16-7-64-TL-DI-187109.htm

Double 5mm-.109 http://psgparts.com/Wrench-Tuning-Pedal-Steel-Double-5mm-7-64-TL-DM-5mm109.htm

I am Out of Stock on the singles. (Jimmie got the last one!)

I guess that it gets lost in the blabber above but I make 32 styles of wrenches.

I should have just about everything covered.
