Start
A familiar frustration
I wanted one tool that could move quickly between fastener sizes without the slow adjustment and loose feel of a traditional adjustable wrench.
About the project
Built by one person. Shaped by every failure.
Trevor’s Wrench is a self-funded faber foundry project, built in the shop and refined in public for people who care about how tools work and feel.
Current phase
Production validation and supplier review
Origin
The tool I kept wishing I had.
This started with wasted trips to the toolbox, missing sockets, and the clumsy compromise of a conventional adjustable wrench.
I set out to make something that adjusts instantly, engages from multiple sides, and feels satisfying enough that convenience does not feel like a compromise. It is not intended to replace every tool—just to become the first one you try.
Development
Progress measured in broken parts.
23×
Prototype, break, repeat
Pins bent, mechanisms bound, parts slipped, and promising CAD models failed under real torque. Each failure made the next version more focused.
Now
Production validation
The mechanism works. The current job is proving strength, compacting the package, vetting suppliers, and making the tool repeatable to manufacture.

The first run starts with real interest.
