Posts: 1604 Colorado Springs, CO Gender:	Bionic Wrenches 08/27/08 at 20:47:23 A couple of guys on my KLR650 forum have tried these and said they are heavy-duty, display high build quality, and work well. Bionic Wrenches Does anyone here have first-hand experience with these?

Those look like a nice idea. Might not work too well where space is an issue ... Add a set (or at least the 8" one) to my christmas wish list......

It looks like a good idea, except I'm struggling to think of a time I'd rather use one of those than either an ordinary open or ring combination wrench, or a socket.

I'm terrible for buying tools just because they look good or they're a good idea, then having them unused in my tool drawers for 10 years, but even I would be sceptical over this!

Not so sure about any advantages in other applications.
