Manual wenches are so yesteryear, with the autowrench you still have to use a bit of manual elbow grease to do the loosening or tightening, however it can automatically resize the jaws to fit the nut.

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 sceptical 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.

The Auto Wrench is for sale at Amazon for $28.40.

You know what they say - if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. That’s exactly what Rob Thomas and his band, Matchbox 20 has done by releasing their latest album Exile on Mainstream in the form of a USB bracelet.

The USB bracelet will carry 17 songs from the album, along with the music video “How Far We’ve Come”, a digital booklet complete with album art, and other customizable objects for the computer. Would you pick up this format over the good old CD?

I’d freak out if my towel looked like that - large, bulging eyes with red veins snaking all over, a gaping mouth, and all the other humanoid appendages. Nevertheless, kids might find the Towelie Talking Action Figure interesting as he measures 9″ tall and spews out (supposedly) witty phrases at random,for example, “Oh man, I have no idea what’s going on right now!”. You can pick up the Towelie Talking Action Figure for $23.99. Chances are any Homer Simpson talking toys out there will definitely beat Towelie hands down when it comes to witticisms.
