The large wrenches are live at https://www.handtoolrescue.com/products/mcsqueezatron-5000

I hope you all enjoy it if you do pick one up!  This endeavour took over a year to finalize and produce as many improvements were made to the wrench over its original counterpart. 

I am so excited to finally have these in production!

Ordered!

Alexander Ralph

Ordered! Congratulations!!! You must be very excited!!! Now i can chill and watch the video and look forward to taking delivery of the new wrench....all the way to the UK 🇬🇧 👍👍

Planky

Great work! Sadly the shipping and conversion to aud puts it out of my budget at the moment. Hopefully can get one in the near future.

You win the prize as the first to order the large wrench! The prize...is a large wrench.

handtoolrescue

Thanks! Australia shipping is always brutal. So far away!

Sunk Cost Garage

Woot, picked up a father/son pair, just like the other two kinds

ThomasD

Ok, so back then I ordered 4 6" for my father my brothers and myself. Now I just placed the order for 4 9" to complete the set. I am not sure I'm willing to go up to 4 18" - or rather my wallet is not yet ready for it. The 6" is very versatile I use it at least once a week to open beer .. hum ... Nutella jars.

Gene Simonalle

Finally, my collection will be complete, if my wife lets me use them. Also, can you toss a couple of stickers in the order? Will pay extra if needed. Tanks

Matt Miller

Is there a discount code this time around? Fixing to press buy it now.

Janet Dupree

Ha!Ha! I love McSqeezatron. You are very 😆

Jeremy Abel

What an absolute chonker!

Ricky Lynn

Any idea on the time frame of the brass minis?

Kris Kuckowicz

For once I'm glad I woke up early. Ordered. And count me interested in an 18" custom job.

Peter Laws

So you're saying the 9" is ... ribbed? (Can't believe you missed that opportunity for *comedy*) Wrenches and junior high jokes aside ... that production process was amazing! I knew that a lot of that sort of thing was automated but had no idea how thoroughly hands-off the process was. It seemed like there were some points where someone or some thing had to take the work pieces from what machine to another but not as many as I thought until today. Amazing. How much of that equipment was yours and how much was an outside shop?

Peter Laws

Oh, and happy owner of Mini #3138.

The wrench production shop houses all the CNC machinery. It has taken years to refine the production process and jigs to help keep the cost down. Manual labour is the big cost, so that is kept to a minimum. The only manual labour is dunking the wrench blanks in acid for descaling, placing them in and out of the machining jigs, sanding the outer profile, oiling, and shipping.

Peter Laws

It was a VERY cool process. Please do not let me stop you from posting an even longer version of it!! :-) Is that place local to you?

Kris Kuckowicz

I've a feeling shipping would be the real killer, but yeah. I hit you up on Instagram about it a while back.

Matt Zimmerman

That makes sense, no one likes to drink 3% milk, so you wouldn't want it going to waste.

Torsten Bolten

Can I have mine cooled with vegan soy milk, please?

eSyr

It should have been Wrenchy McWrenchface.

Flint Buchman

Done. If it takes longer than 2 week..well, then I will just have to wait longer.

Clifton Ballad

I hope they are still around by payday...

Matthew Pelletier

I work overnights. So I tend to sleep in later. I intentionally set an alarm periodically to check to see if it had gone love yet. Except, I slept through all the alarms. So I woke in a panic around 4pm worried they'd be sold out. Luckily though they hadn't!

Yoel Bittner

I am sad I cannot afford one at the moment. Hopefully I will be able to get it next month.

Joe Patterson

The heavy breathing during the test is the best part, hands down. Had me excited enough to buy one! Now to wait patiently for my 9"....

Blue

How much would shipping be for the extra large wrench, out of curiosity

Aaron Greene

im going to buy one, but i was curious if i could get another HTR sticker? would like one for my toolbox at work.

handtoolrescue

I am adding them to the shipment of the Large wrenches, so you will totally get one.

Flint Buchman

I didn't use the discount code. Last time it said I used it already. Apperantly it is a one time thing. That's okay though. I like supporting the hard working channels. I support"local" business and HTR certainly feels like it to me. No complaints.

Aaron Greene

awesome, thanks. im placing my order now.

Shao Zhang

Just ordered all 3 sizes! Gonna compare them to the original first run.

Emalkartha

Dammit, I ordered all three and didn't put in the code. I'm dumb.

Emalkartha

Thank you very kindly!

Shao Zhang

You know homie already made more of the extra big one. Why make one when you can make 2 for twice the price.

Ryan LaValley

My wrench has been received by USPS, which means I get to wait somewhere between 1 and 4 weeks to actually show up at my house! It's like wrench roulette!

david batig

Got mine today. The rich aroma of Saskatoon filled my senses at the unboxing. Beautiful wrench.

Flint Buchman

Mine was delivered today. Now I just have to round them all up for a family picture. Thanks again HTR.

Jimmy Dee

Mine arrived today. Number "double-naught thirteen" with some "tossed in the bin" marks. Excellent character! The fine pitch was a good choice. These work well as a hand-held vise. Thanks.

Marc McKenzie

My 9-incher arrived the other day... WOW! Now that’s some steel. Like all your work, excellent job from a very loyal friend.

Paul Henninge

"My children" ...the best entry.
