Gear Wrench

Power wrench
The XL X-Beam wrench by GearWrench places its ratchet end perpendicular to the open end to make removing stubborn fasteners easier on the hands. This works because applying pressure to the wider side of the wrench delivers greater force, or torque. Each tool is also up to 25 percent longer for more leverage.
