Speed Wrench
Also known as
Speed Handle, Ratchet Extension Bar, Brace Wrench
Used for
Rapidly spinning down long runs of bolts, lag screws, or coupler pins where a standard ratchet would take too many strokes — common in truss and staging assembly where speed on repetitive fasteners matters.
Trade note
The crank-style offset handle lets a technician spin the socket continuously with a rolling wrist motion instead of ratcheting stroke by stroke, trading torque for raw speed on low-resistance fasteners.
