- All right, Jerry.
I got it, let's go!
100, 100, 100, 100. (Jeremiah groaning)
- Testing the Bionic Wrench today.
As seen on TV, do-it-all wrench that claims
to replace all these tools.
I don't know what the heck this thing is
but today we're gonna test it.
I'm joined with Justin because Zach Jobe is sleeping in
'cause he's got diarrhea.
Let's go.
(seagulls cawing)
Big thanks to eBay for sponsoring today's video.
- Oh, hey Jere. - Hey Jobe, what you doing?
- Oh, I'm just welding "eBay" onto this piece of sheet metal
because eBay Motors is a big supporter at Donut.
So I just wanted to do something really cool for them.
- Heck yeah, man.
You know what else is cool? - What?
eBay Motors is adding links in the description below
so you can buy a welder or any of the other tools
you've seen us testing this season.
- Oh, and don't forget
that eBay has an easy to use money back guarantee
so you can be sure that the tool you need
is the tool you get.
Just click the link in the description below to shop tools,
plus a whole lot more.
Including Donut merch which is now also available on eBay.
Now what do you think of my masterpiece?
- Dude, it looks great.
How'd you get so good at welding?
- Well, I was practicing all morning on some car outside.
- Aw sick. Hold on, which car?
- The big heavy one.
(Nolan grunting)
- Jobe!
(melodic chimes)
- Okay Jeremiah, what exactly is a Bionic Wrench?
- Well they have a series of infomercials
that tell us exactly what it is.
- [Announcer] All these wrenches in the toolbox,
more pliers in the drawer,
and none of them the right size.
- She pulled up two needle noses.
- I don't know which one to use!
- [Announcer] Is the Bionic Wrench,
the revolutionary new hand tool
that replaces all these wrenches, pliers,
sockets, ratchets and more. - Oh, replaces all those.
You can go from bolt to bolt to bolt
and it's a great gift item-
(Justin and Jeremiah laughing)
- [Jeremiah] What an (bleep).
Also, that lady did a really bad job wrapping that.
She just put a bow on it.
- [Announcer] "The Wall Street Journal" say the Bionic-
- "Wall Street Journal"? (laughing)
- [Announcer] Because it's the greatest tool invention
since, well, the wrench.
- Said it's the greatest tool invention since the wrench.
Now we're on the LoggerHead Tools website.
LoggerHead Tools wins lawsuit
against Sears and Apex Tool Group.
Look at my man.
This is the guy who invented this tool.
He is about it.
- That's cool to put his face up there
but it looks like a "don't mess with me" face.
I won my lawsuit!
- You try to (bleep) with LoggerHead Tools
or I'm gonna come after ya!
So we have the eight inch Bionic Wrench
and the six inch Bionic Wrench.
What did we learn from watching that?
- [Justin] It can replace 14 wrenches,
it says it's good at home and on the road,
and there's over a million sold
so it would have to be good, right?
- As you clamp down and put presser on the handle
you have these six teeth
that track onto the head of the bolt.
Just pull and it automatically adjusts.
Just squeezes down on all six sides.
We bought these in a two-pack, $65,
to do some of the jobs that we're gonna do.
You need two.
Kind of defeats the purpose of the whole universal thing.
So today we're gonna test this thing,
we're gonna see if it replaces 14 wrenches,
and then we're gonna push it to its limit
and see how much it can take before it fails.
(upbeat jazz music)
- First thing we're testing today
is if this thing can actually work
on different types of fasteners.
- Whoa, fly it in.
We have a couple different size fasteners here
along with some rounded off bolt-ins
and we're gonna see if this Bionic Wrench
can tighten and loosen these bolts.
Now this is the bottom end of the spectrum,
this is a 12 mill so is as small as this one goes to.
Oh look at that.
Pinched it on- - Oh.
Well it tightens. Not great.
So the nice thing about a regular wrench
is it's already angled like that.
Now let's go a little bit bigger.
- Well, I can already see a problem with the smaller one,
is I can't close my grip as much.
Here's that angle again, I'm hitting other stuff.
Oh, oh, I rounded it. Hold on.
Gotta actually think about my grip.
- [Jeremiah] It is a weird thing.
You're having to grip and turn.
- My grip is wider so it's harder to hold it.
You're using more force on your hand and your wrist.
Instead of just using it for torque,
you're now having to clamp your hand closed and turn.
- But the thing that I do like about this tool that it says
is stripped bolts.
These two right here,
even the Gator Grip couldn't torque these guys down.
But this says "Rounded off bolts, no freaking problem."
Oh come on, grip hard.
- [Justin] Let me get some leverage here.
- Yeah! - There we go.
- This is a hard movement to do.
- It's all hand though, right.
You're gripping so hard.
- I'm putting more in my hand in order to get that going,
so the limitation is you.
And if you're not careful
you can round that bolt off some more.
So it definitely works as advertised,
but that's not all it says it can do.
It says we can work on a car with it.
Let's go do some roadside work.
(upbeat funky music)
- If you watched our episode on the Gator Grip,
when we tested it on the E36
there were some limitations to that.
So we're gonna go back underneath the hood here
and see whether or not the Bionic Wrench can do better.
So the Gator Grip failed in this test
because can't get down on the actual nut itself.
So it couldn't even reach that.
But with the Bionic grip you have another problem which,
do you have enough space that you can clamp this thing on?
Why don't we try to take these strut tower nuts off?
(Jeremiah grunting)
- Wanna switch out here?
Ready? - Yeah, push.
Oh! - Oh.
- Again, the biggest limitation is the grip of your hand.
This thing will grab onto it but the rest is up to you.
Yeah, I just ruined that. (Jeremiah laughing)
Ow, ooh ow.
There's some metal shavings on that.
- You got it off
which is important in an emergency situation I guess.
- That's an emergency I don't want to be a part of!
- There are other fasteners in here
that we could test, right?
Ah, perfect. Super easy. - Super easy.
- So it looks like the small one's definitely
the most useful for automobiles.
- [Jeremiah] What about a hose clamp?
Try that little baby hose clamp right there.
- It turns it. - Does it?
- [Justin] Now I've rounded it off.
- Now the only way to get it off is with-
- With the Bionic Grip.
It's making it's advertisement worth it
by ruining all of your bolts.
- What about something like this
where it's a Philip's head flat?
That literally a round head.
- [Justin] It's too low.
I'm not getting enough tooth on it
in order for it or rotate, see.
- It's digging in there.
- It's just metal to metal contact digging in the stuff.
- Okay, so for truly rounded heads
it definitely doesn't work.
- So it works on some of the things under the hood kind of,
depending on how strong you are in an emergency situation.
But let's see if it'll do something simple
like change out a battery.
- Spoiler alert, no.
The dimensions of the tool
just get in the way of tight spaces like this.
So can it replace a battery?
No.
- Can it change your tire?
Definitely no.
Here's the Imperial.
(upbeat jazzy music) (buzzer sounding)
What about on another car?
Oh!
(Justin grunting)
No.
- So we have 14 cars in this parking lot
and not one are we able to change a wheel with.
- It may have worked on a couple different fasteners,
but it's not really something
that's gonna replace your toolbox.
- So far I would rather have 14 wrenches than this thing.
(drum roll)
(upbeat jazzy music)
All right, Justin.
We're gonna see how much torque these Bionic Grips
can actually produce.
We have our digital torque adapter here
with a nut that's welded onto the top of it.
So we're gonna just use as much hand grip as we can,
you're gonna do it?
- I mean, she should both it.
- Yeah, let's see who wins.
We'll make it into a little competition.
So we got the grandma special, the big boy.
Here we go, you ready?
- All right Jerry, you got it, let's go!
100, 100, 100, 100, 100! (Jeremiah grunting)
- What'd I get? 48.6.
- Okay, all right, your turn Justin.
30.
35.
36.
- It's rounding. - Uh oh.
- Okay, how bout you push?
Straighten it back out.
- 30.
55!
59!
60!
- Aye!
- Heck yeah.
Let's see what the little one does.
It fits really tight on this.
- So we have no hand grip is what you're saying?
- Yeah, you can't squeeze, you can only push.
Come on!
54.6.
Started to fall.
- 52.6, come on. Ah, all right.
- That is the worst feeling ever.
It's a hard thing just digging into the palm of your hand.
- Yes, we got 60 foot pounds,
which isn't that bad for just hand tightening something.
But we needed a lot of space and a lot of leverage
in order to even do that.
So with a normal wrench
sometimes you can get more leverage with a breaker bar.
All right Jeremiah, give it your all!
- Here we go. - Here we go.
- Ooh, it rounded. (Jeremiah and Justin laughing)
- Downward force. Just put your hand there.
- [Justin] Here we go.
Ah, that's breaking.
I can feel it cracking. - You can feel it cracking.
- 60.7.
That's not great.
- Could we thread a bolt? - Yeah.
- So this should hold it down better.
What's breaking?
I feel cracking. How's that feel?
- 55.9 and then it just rounded off again.
Oh yeah, it's getting chewed up a little bit on the inside.
- Let's compare it to a regular wrench.
- So I have a 15 millimeter wrench.
Fits just perfect.
Now I'm gonna get the pipe.
- You're at 76, 77. - Watch your face.
- 82.1.
- And that's with me not wanting to blow this thing up
and rip Justin's face off.
I think we proved a point though.
That took no amount of time, much less effort.
You didn't have to grip down on it to maintain contact.
The wrench does that work for you.
- Well look, one thing we have proven, it is well-made.
It hasn't broken.
- Yeah, it's well built,
but there are a lot of good things that are well built
that are useless.
I mean Logan Paul, he's well built.
(everyone laughing)
What do you want to stress test?
- Let's throw the thing, I don't know.
- Justin watches "Tool Party",
just like "I just wanna throw (bleep) off the roof."
- Yes!
- What would make you feel good, Justin?
You wanna throw it off the roof?
(Justin sighs) (Jeremiah laughs)
- You ruined it for me! - How did I ruin it?
- So just to make you happy, Justin,
let's go run it over. - Yay!
(upbeat jazzy music)
Could of just done it right there.
(laughing) Yeah. Perfect.
How'd that feel, Justin?
- [Justin] Not good.
- [Jeremiah] It did nothing, Justin.
- Hey, well they're at least well-made.
Yeah, my thirst for destruction is not quenched quite yet,
so I think tossing it off the roof might.
If it survives that it's well-made
and then we're good to go.
(upbeat jazzy music)
- You see that?
It literally put a hole in the concrete, it's so thick.
It's like nothing even happened to it.
Did that feel good?
- Yeah. Y'all get to have fun on your show.
(Jeremiah laughing)
I just wanted a piece of it.
God, could you blame me?
- All right Justin, so what do you think?
Does this thing do all the things
that you would want in a tool?
- Absolutely not.
Don't fall for this, people.
- It does some of the things it claims.
For rounded off stuff,
that would be the one purpose I would use it for.
For a rounded bolt
in place that you could fit the actual tool in.
- But that's very specific.
Most things you're wrenching in any situation
is not in the most accessible place.
So the other thing I really don't like about it
is how it's up to the user.
- [Jeremiah] It took a lot of effort to get these things-
- [Justin] So much just for the wrench to just destroy it
in the torque test.
- I would say leave this, pass it up.
This is what I have to say to the millions of grandmas
who bought these for their sons and grandkids.
Just give us money next time. (Justin laughing)
- A while ago we announced
our very own car collectable called Stocky.
And we are so excited to announce that it's finally here.
We went through a bunch of versions
to get these things perfect,
and they are perfect.
They feel awesome in the hand, they're heavy, they roll.
They also now have removable wheels which is cool,
we're super happy with these.
We also made two all-new limited quantity designs.
An officially licensed real-time racing Stocky,
and of course the Donut Media Lo Car model.
Thank you so much to all of you who backed the Kickstarter.
We know it was a long road for these
but we're super happy with the final result.
We're reopening orders for this first batch
for one week only,
so don't miss your chance.
Hit the link!
Get a Stocky.
Have some fun.
- Justin, thanks so much for being on "Tool Party".
- I had a blast.
- Can't wait to see you more.
