Editorial Review:
When you find yourself in a tight spot, trying to tighten a hard-to-reach nut, this Black & Decker 8" Automatic Adjustable Wrench will save the day. Powered by 2 AAA batteries, the AAW100 helps you get a grip in cirumstances where you normally couldn't. What a helpful home maintenance tool! Battery Life - 650 Cycles Black & Decker 2 Year Warranty
Manually adjusting a wrench to fit particular nuts and bolts can be a real hassle, especially in tight spaces. Enter Black & Decker’s battery-powered Auto Wrench, a phenomenally handy tool that opens and closes with the push of a button. Boasting 220 foot-pounds of torque, this wrench is powerful enough to handle most household tasks, from car repair to fixing leaks.

The Auto Wrench is not meant to replace specialty tools like pipe or torque wrenches, but the jaws open wide enough (up to 1-1/4-inch) so that it could conceivably replace a range of manual wrenches sitting in your toolkit. This is an ideal product for someone looking to buy a wrench that’s both easy to use and versatile. At 8-inches, you could toss it in the silverware drawer and whip it out when you need it.

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 skeptical 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.

Summary: Black & Decker auto wrench
Comment: Thought I was getting a good deal until I saw the same item in sawgrass Mall in Ft. Lauderdale for $10.00. That was upsetting!

Summary: Great Gift
Comment: This was purchased as a Christmas gift for my son-in-law, so it's hard to review. I know he'll love it! Service was great and arrived as promised.

Summary: Handy little tool
Comment: It's a handy little wrench, with just a few drawbacks.

What I liked:
Quick and easy adjustments
Nice grip

What I didn't like:
Philips screwdriver required to replace batteries
No "hold" button to keep the tool from accidentally powering on

I'd give it 5 stars if at least one of the cons were fixed. I wouldn't need to replace the batteries that much if it didn't accidentally power on, and it wouldn't be such a pain to replace the batteries that often if it wasn't for the screw.

Summary: needs work
Comment: I've been through 3 of these already. At first it seems great, especially on one handed jobs.It has come in very handy with jobs that require two wrenches. It eventually will break. The motor will become too week. Black & Decker is however very quick to send a replacement.If they can make this tool's motor stronger, then it would be a great one to own.It's defiantly not meant to be an every day tool.

Summary: Don't get if you are a regular tool user
Comment: This is good for a beginner but it doesn't grab on tight and has many limitations in where it can be used.
