Craftsman "V" Series Super Speed Wrench Review

This is one of the special double collar wrenches which makes them really smooth to use and even speedier then a normal speed wrench. it also has a wide and flat top handle which some people prefer to the narrow ones that some other brands use.

one of the most hand tools from my generation and I still use mine to this day

Wahoo, first one! Great review, Ty. I've never really used speed wrenches. My dad had a PROTO unit back in the day, he used it occasionally (with palm atop the wheel). (Donno what happened to it, unfortunately.)

I have the Craftsman speed handles at home in both 3/8" and 1/2" drive that I inherited from my father and neither have the collar, but have the knob handle at the end. I have newer (15 years old) Snap-on speed handles in 1/4" and 3/8" drive at work that I use to run down bolts on intake manifolds and valve body bolts and then use a torque wrench to finish. That why is saves you from having come backs.

Thanks for another great video brother.
Do you have any of the "new" Craftsman V series tools?
I have a 3/8" and a 1/2" of the old USA speed wrenches.
I have not seen anyone do a review on the V series. They seemed to be a decent tool but the last time I was in Lowes I didn't see any on the shelf.
Stay strong brothers.

Hello again Catus Maximus and Tiny
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 The Craftsman handled is also used for leverage in the shoulder. For instance in aircraft panels can be placed on top of a wing or the bottom of the wing. As well as many other places where leverage is needed. Again thank you 😊

I had that exact same speed wrench. I preferred my Grandfather's old Husky speed wrench.

I have had my EE series since around 1983 and have never used it.

I had a similar Craftsman speed wrench with that handle but the chrome just crack and was sharp. I warrantee it and got a thin handle replacement which I hate. I should have just lived with the sharp chrome plating. I use that wide handle against my chest when I take the dash apart. Works well. Much faster than a ratchet. Now I have to look for another speed ratchet with the wide handle.

I love my speed handle. Doesn't need to be recharged, doesn't need a cord or a hose.

I have the Snap On version of this… great for lug nut installation.

You should try the gearwrench speed wrench

[@fredoswego]

Oh man, I have no idea what happened to my Dad's super speed wrench now that I think about it. I should have grabbed it as we were clearing up my parents' estate.

I have the Pitts-berg Pirates one.
And boy do my Pitts smell. 😁

The Pitts are the pitts.
