Latshaw PocketWrench
on: March 03, 2008, 05:01:49 AM
you know I've had this thing for at least 10 years and forget I have it (I'm sure you tool nuts know what I mean).
I got it for free at work (trade show) and they even gave me some adapter sockets to go with it (darn nice people)

it's a nut driver, socket handle, pry bar, ruler, and I've even used it for a standard screw driver once or twice!

Lately it's been in a b.o.b. but I've been looking at mini pry-bars and forgot I had one!
here it is next to a farmer and OHT;

it's a real handy tool and I think I'll find a way to carry it more.
I've seen some generic ones online and I think Kershaw still makes them too.

here's one site for it; http://aslanrefuge.org/knives/bob/tool/pocketwrench_ii.html
I'd suggest a search. I'm pretty sure I've seen some generic versions of it (different company)

I've never tried a bottle! now I have too :D

I think I bought my original 'pocketwrench' made in USA stainless version either in the late '80s or early '90s.  I got a Latshaw chrome plated Taiwan version a couple of years ago off ebay.   The older one has pried open many a paint can, the newer one's been in my truck console since I got it, unused, but there if I need it.

That looks like one of those simple tools that is just really handy.  I'll bet it would fit nicely in the bit pocket of a Charge style sheath! :D

yeah I was thinking it would be a nice add-on to a MT or blade. Either piggy back/dedicated sheath connected
to a larger sheath or if it can fit inside and share a sheath. problem is it's metal and could rub/scratch the other tool.
I'll have to investigate now! ;)

it's pretty nice set-up but like I said they will scratch each
other up in time, but who cares, their not safe-queens!

I have one of those, but it sits in my toolbox unused. Does anyone know what the original one looks like?

Wenger has a wrench on some of its SAKs that is similar, but a bit smaller.
It is on the S557, the Motorist, the Large Mountain Bike, the S54, and the Tool Chest Plus.

Precisely.  I just received a PocketWrench II from my brother today as a stocking stuffer and he mentioned that it would fit nicely in a Charge sheath...

That thing looks pretty spiffy. I might have to pick one up to put in my bag (<3 Jansport...I swear, my backpack's lasted me 8 years now). Sears carries them, yes?
