Aperture Wrench Shows What Happens When Photographer Designs Tools

What happens when a photographer designs a tool? The Aperture Wrench is what happens.

“Inspired by the apertures in cameras, the idea was formed to create a wrench to fit any size nut,” photographer and designer Jordan Steranka wrote. The wrench can be adjusted to different sizes by rotating the side dial, and pressing the lock button once the perfect size is reached. Clever, huh? Looks like we’ll finally be able to reduce the amount of tools needed in our toolboxes – at least a bit! You can read more about the Aperture Wrench on Behance, as it is it only a concept design for now, or buy a similar product called the Bionic Wrench on Amazon.

Its pretty, but tools with purpose the rule is form follows function, not the other way around.

Exactly. Many nuts and bolts don't have much open space around them. Not to mention it's quite useless around pipes.

internet, could you please first produce a prototype of what you imagine before posting "innovation" based only on 3D computer design...

Prototypes are fun, the concept and design are nice, but the concept seems flawed. The forces applied with a wrench are tremendous, this locking system/idea looks really weak. But concepts can also trigger innovation and start the works for one that will work. This one has been around for over a year though, kinda weird BP posts it now.

I agree- I want to see a prototype too. However, I think it needs to be said that depending on what software you use, a 3D computer design can actually run quite a few of the tests.

Boredpanda is the same. They post articles which often "seem" cool but are often "contructed". This website is just for cheap laughs and inspiration. Not for real usefull information.

There is another wrench with a similar concept that was sold by Sears for years. The problem with this and that wrench is the clearance required is too great to make this a useful tool . The head is far too large to fit around many nuts. I have quite a few Machine shop equipment, and this wrench just would not fit with the limited clearance available.
