Cooper Hand Tools Expands Line with New 10-inch Crescent BRAND RapidSlide Adjustable Wrench
APEX, N. C. - AUGUST 2, 2007 - Cooper Hand Tools, maker of the original Crescent® brand adjustable wrench, has introduced a second, larger-capacity Crescent® RapidSlide(TM) adjustable wrench, giving users faster, easier and more accurate jaw adjustments in a larger 10-inch size.
The RapidSlide wrench is named for its revolutionary handle-positioned slide adjuster, which replaces the traditional turning adjuster for an overall improvement in speed and productivity. Users simply move the slide forward to tighten the jaws, back to loosen them. Once adjusted, the jaws automatically lock securely in place, so there is no need to hold the slide while turning fasteners.
The new RapidSlide wrench is 10 inches (250mm) long and has a maximum jaw opening of 1.2 inches (30.4mm), a 20 percent increase over the jaw capacity of the original 8-inch wrench. Both feature an extra wide handle that gives users more comfort and power, while putting less stress on the hand and arm. To prevent any debris from lodging in the tool, RapidSlide wrenches include an internal debris shield that is built to protect the slide mechanism, extending the tool's life.
The heads of both wrenches feature laser-etched SAE and metric markings that accurately show the jaw opening measurement. Jaws are highly polished, making cleanup easier and keeping the tools looking like new. The RapidSlide wrenches feature all-metal drop-forged construction for maximum durability.
