APEX, NC – JANUARY 2006 – Cooper Hand Tools has introduced the Crescent® brand R2 RapidRench adjustable ratcheting socket wrench, an improvement in wrench design that can accommodate hundreds of fastener sizes with the simple turn of a dial.
Unlike traditional socket wrenches that require users to interrupt a job and sort through various socket sizes to find the appropriate fit, the R2 RapidRench contains a dial that adjusts the jaws, allowing the wrench head to tighten or loosen to fit hundreds of fasteners. The new feature increases productivity by eliminating the time-consuming socket selection process.
The Crescent® brand R2 RapidRench adjustable ratcheting socket wrench can replace 38 of the most popular socket sizes and work on hundreds of fasteners. The jaw capacity ranges from 1/4” to 7/8”.
The R2 RapidRench has a rubberized grip that enhances comfort during use and offers increased power, allowing a user to grip tighter for longer periods of time.
