No More Guesswork, Lost or Missing Sockets
Keeping track of individual sockets from a socket set can be a chore, as sockets often go missing or get dropped and misplaced. Likewise, socket sets can be tipped and scattered on garage floors, and they are usually unorganized, which makes it difficult to find the size you’re looking for. Thankfully, the ReadyWrench puts an end to lost sockets and ensures you’ll never need to search through a socket set again.
Whether you’re assembling a barbecue, fixing a bike, putting together furniture, or tinkering with your car, the ReadyWrench can help save you both time and stress. Thanks to its easy-to-use design, the ReadyWrench lets you transition easily from task to task without having to hunt around for sockets or additional tools.
Sockets Just Took a New Turn
The ReadyWrench features two rotating heads that easily adjust and click into place–just spin the heads to find the socket size you’re looking for. For further convenience, the heads detent at 45 and 90 degrees, so the ReadyWrench can be used like a ratchet for continuous turning.
With its short-pin design, the ReadyWrench replaces both one-and two-inch-deep sockets. It easily slides over nuts tightened down on long bolts where even a two-inch-deep or longer socket will not fit.
One Incredible Wrench; 16 Most Popular Sizes
The ReadyWrench, with its multiple socket options and short-pin design, is a versatile and flexible tool–and a great value over purchasing a socket set. The sockets are cast to fit both standard (SAE) and metric bolts, and they have a special six-point socket design that won’t damage bolt heads.
Best of all, the ReadyWrench offers 16 socket options–5/16 inch, 3/8 inch, 7/16 inch, 1/2 inch, 9/16 inch, 5/8 inch, 11/16 inch, 3/4 inch, 8mm, 10mm, 11mm, 13mm, 14mm, 16mm, 17mm, and 19mm–all the standard and metric sizes you need to handle most any project. Additionally, there are color-coded laser markings on the side of each socket for easy reference (metric = blue; standard = red).
User-Friendly Tool Designed to Last a Lifetime
The ReadyWrench is so easy to use, you won’t know how you ever lived without it. To start, socket sizes are etched and baked in color into each socket for easy visibility–not imprinted like standard sockets. For added convenience, a helpful size chart (in both inches and millimeters) on the back of the handle lets you know exactly what size you need for a specific job.
Additionally, the ReadyWrench boasts a durable rubber grip that provides exceptional comfort for high-torque applications and extends the life of the tool. Built to last, the ReadyWrench is made of durable vanadium steel with a nickel chrome finish.
The MSW100 ReadyWrench is backed by a lifetime warranty.

I’ll be honest, I have neither bought nor used this product but it seems obvious that with four sockets together there’ll be a lot of places where this won’t work well and some where it won’t work at all. Black and Decker should also be honest and not falsely advertise 16 sizes when it’s perfectly obvious that there are only eight. Yes, 19 mm is very close to 3/4″ but it is not 3/4″. If the standard sizes listed were equivalent to the metric sizes listed, there would still only be eight sizes although they could be stated in either metric or standard sizes. And while standard and metrics can be used on each other, the smaller the bolt or nut and the more edges it has,(hexagonal or octagonal instead of square) the sooner it will round off the corners and slip. The other problem that I personally have with this item is that when I think of sockets, I think of various sized sockets that fit on a ratchet handle. I see that this item has been tagged with ratchet but it has no ratchet and so does not ratchet. So, if I had been the person who approved or disapproved this tool for production, I would have told the design team to do one of two things before I would approve: Make it a group of open-end or box-end wrenches instead of sockets on each end, since they’re basically open-end wrenches anyway, being unable to ratchet; or make the sockets ratchet. And if the box-end wrenches were chosen, I’d then say that since they were making them open-end wrenches, they must make them ratchet. That’s old technology already.

I’m lucky that my husband does our handy work around our house but he’s been busier with work more and more throughout the years so I’ve decided to start my own tool box (I think all women should have one) and learn how to fix the simple things around the house.
Like Black & Decker claims, this has 16 socket sizes in this all in one wrench. Although I’m sure it would not take care of EVERY wrench job you’d have, it does take care of the most common sizes and then some! It’s very convienient to have it all in one device and not have to search for several different sizes. I just may get one for my husband if he’s really nice

I bought this for my husband and had read many reviews on it before I got it. It seems like it will come in very handy for him. I think he will really like it.

FINALLY a wrench that I can put in my back pocket when I leave the garage to work on something and I know I will have the correct size with me when it comes time to start fixing something. Gone are the days of trying to “eyeball” a nut or bolt and grabbing the wrong sized wrench or having to bring the entire set with me! Good grip when it gets wet or oily. Sometimes it does tend to cant a little bit because of the way the wrench head spins to change sizes but all in all it’s a well made handy tool.
