Cooper Tools Received the 2006 Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Award for this wrench!
Cooper Hand Tools has been recognized by the editors of Popular Mechanics for the groundbreaking design of its new Crescent® brand RapidSlide™ wrench. A slide adjuster positioned in the handle of the wrench allows substantially quicker jaw adjustment compared with the knurled adjuster found on traditional adjustable wrenches. The RapidSlide wrench represents the first time an alternative to the standard adjustment method has been offered for the Crescent brand adjustable wrench.
