Just in time for holiday shopping, GearWrench, a premier hand tool brand from Apex Tool Group, announced its five-piece X-Beam Ratcheting Wrench set ($24.99) and two-piece QuadBox Double Box Ratcheting Set ($19.99) are now available at NAPA stores nationwide.
Whether working under the hood of a car or on a home improvement project, gadget gurus tend to like the X-Beam for its wider, super-strong crossbeam, which increases the wrench’s contact area with your hand by 500% over traditional wrenches. The award-winning wrench provides greater comfort and control for the user. In fact, an independent test conducted on behalf of the American Arthritis Foundation yielded a favorable review of the X-Beam. The X-Beam is the first hand tool to be accepted into the organization’s Ease-of-Use commendation program.
"Since the launch of the X-Beam in 2006, the coveted tool has been alleviating unnecessary aches and pains for technicians. This is probably one reason the tool continues to be a top-seller year after year for the holidays," said Ray Smith, vice president of professional marketing for Apex Tool Group. "The GearWrench gift sets at NAPA will appear at the top of wish lists for weekend warriors and pros alike."
In addition to the X-Beam, GearWrench will also be promoting a special offer for its QuadBox Double Box Ratcheting Wrench set. The two-piece set provides a reversible four-in-one ratcheting wrench, offering four sizes in each wrench. There’s no longer a need to carry multiple box wrenches, since the set contains eight sizes in only two wrenches. The tools’ all-metal construction makes it easy to move the fastener and helps the end user be more productive.
If you have a professional tool user or gadget guru on your holiday list, be sure to stop by NAPA Auto Parts for these GearWrench holiday gift sets. Don’t wait until the last minute … these valuable offers are good only while supplies last. For more information visit www.gearwrench.com.
* The GearWrench X-Beam Ratcheting Wrench received the "Best of What’s New" award in 2006 from Popular Science magazine and was featured on Popular Mechanics’ Upgrade: Wish List in 2007.
