The Digital Adjustable Wrench tells when bolts are tight
Now this is what you call overkill. Typically when you turn a wrench you can pretty much feel when it’s tight. Usually the best indication of this is that it gets more and more difficult to turn. It’s pretty basic. However, for those that need to know a distinct moment when things are tight there is this wrench with a digital display. You’ll never have to guess again, but that luxury is going to cost you a pretty hefty amount.
This looks like something you find at a novelty store to pick up for your Dad on Father’s Day. Instead though, this wrench is something you have to buy online for $323. Yes, that’s right this Digital Adjustable Wrench will cost you hundreds of dollars. The best part is that if you hold the ergonomic handle in the wrong place it won’t give a proper reading. Not only that, but if you happen to break it for some reason, you’re just hosed. Any decent tool typically comes with at least some kind of warranty, but there’s no chance of that at the Japan Trend Shop where you purchase it.

[...] Published by Maria Mihale, on Jul 30 2009, in the categories: Gadgets When he was a little kid, my brother was fascinated by those things that my dad had to do around the house, things that involved hammers, nails, wrenches or all sorts of similar tools. He was very much into these activities, maybe because he was a little boy and it’s in a boy’s nature to be attracted by them. I don’t know. I can’t find the amusement in turning a wrench, for example, but my lil’ bro did. And he would be excited if he saw the Digital Adjustable Wrench, which comes with a helping hand for those who don’t know when the bolt is too tight. To solve this problem, the wrench is provided with a digital display that that will let you know when and if the bolt is tight enough. This means that, from now on, you’ll have to leave behind that rule you’ve using, that the bolt is tight when you can’t turn it any more. More than that, there’s a buzz to let you know that your job is done. It comes with an ergonomic handle, with an LED light (to make things a little bit more visible), while the diameter is between 10 and 36 millimeters. The main disadvantage of the Digital Adjustable Wrench is the price. You’ll have to spend a pretty impressive amount of money on it, if you want to have one around your house. And when I say impressive, I mean $323. (Source: Coolest-Gadgets) [...]

It’s called a torque wrench numbnuts. That’s a really badly engineered example of one though.
