My god - I'm trying to find the Wii of hand tools


I thought this would be a great gift for my step-father. He's a handyman and it's an Autowrench that adjusts in size with a click of a button.

I've stopped at 3 Sears stores, a Kmart, a Target and called 5 Home Depots and NO ONE has this tool - they're all sold out.

:wtf:

1. Let the madness begin...
:rofl: What's the world coming to when hand tools are like the Holy Grail? :shrug: :P I've got to get a cordless drill for a gift, and they'd BETTER have it! I can check the hardware store and let you know if they have that wrench

6. Looks like a few places have them on line. Amazon says 3-5 weeks for delivery, but
http://www.homeandbeyond.com/prod-0158227.html this place says 1-2 business days, maybe you can get it expedited. Also looked like TruValue and Ace had it in stock online. Maybe one of those could help?

7. i looked at one at the hardware store once,
it seemed kind of chintzy.
buy him a real Crescent or Diamond brand wrench instead,the quality lasts long after the gimmick fades.

8. Too bad you're not closer to Fayetteville
We can't GIVE this fucking thing away. No one wants it.

Give your stepfather the Most Inappropriately Named Tool Ever Created: the Stanley Fubar II. It is a combination hammer, crowbar, 2x4 straightener, catspaw, beer opener...

10. I found it at Lowes
I would have made a crap gift out of scrap paper before I shop at Wal-mart. And my Union stepfather would have tossed that gift away if he knew it came from there
