Stop digging through your toolbag. The RipWrench™ puts everything you reach for most into one compact, stainless steel tool that slides right into your pocket or clips to your belt!
One end features a safety cutter with a replaceable blade; slice through tape, tie line, gel, zip ties, and more; Without fumbling for a knife. When the blade dulls, swap it out in seconds and keep moving.
The other end is a multi-wrench built for the sizes you actually use on stage:
7/16"
1/2"
9/16"
3/4"
But it doesn't stop there. The RipWrench™ is also designed to work on wingnut-style half coupler clamps (large and small), 5/8" and 3/4" shackle pins, and ¼-turn omega clamps; the hardware you're handling every single day on the rig.
Built from durable stainless steel. Each RipWrench™ comes with a split ring and carabiner so its always within reach.
Designed, machined, and assembled in Tennessee by ELS Nashville — a production company with 12+ years on stages across the country. We didn't design the RipWrench™ in an office. We designed it on a gig.
