ShowShuttle™ – The Next Generation of Touring Carts
TrussShuttle™– The Smarter Way to Move 12x12 Truss
**The Original ELS RipWrench™ has been replaced by the RipWrench™ HD, limited quantity avaliable**
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.
What's Included: RipWrench™ with replaceable blade and black blade cover installed, split ring, carabiner, and 7 additional colored blade covers (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink), 5/64” allen wrench

The ELS RipWrench™ earned its place in the industry by doing two jobs at once: a machined wrench body that fits the clamp hardware you actually touch: 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 3/4", wingnut half couplers, 5/8" and 3/4" shackle pins, and ¼-turn omega clamps, plus a replaceable safety blade for E-Tape, gaff tape, tie line, and more!
Details
The HD takes the same footprint of the original RipWrench™ and makes it nearly unbreakable. We moved to AR400 abrasion-resistant plate steel, the material used in wear liners and excavation equipment, which puts the HD at roughly four times the strength of the original. Zinc plating protects the body through wet load-outs and dusty shops, and you pick the finish: gold or silver.
Two changes came straight from crews. First, a 2" scale is engraved into the body, so you can size a bolt or check a gap without leaving the deck. Second, the carabiner hole moved from the rear to the cutter side, so the tool hangs in the orientation you grab it in.
Every HD is machined and assembled by our fabrication team in Fairview, Tennessee.
