Getting to Grips...With History!
Nowadays, we're all used to seeing the adjustable wrenches that come in every multi-piece toolkit from Scandinavian stores or where-have-you.
Before the era of the modern adjustable wrench, there was a bloody conflict in the early part of the 20th Century. A conflict which today remains largely forgotten, but is of the utmost importance to the development of modern day tools.
We speak, of course, of the Wrench Wars.
The Wrench Wars
During the Wrench Wars, the battle for supremacy in the world of the adjustable wrench was fought by many companies, some of which remain in business to this day.
Unfortunately for many firms, they lost out and their designs fell by the wayside. One of those designs that never quite made it into the big leagues was the concept MetMo Grip was inspired by.
Why Have We Created MetMo Grip?
We found a patent of an early 20th Century variable grip wrench and immediately fell in love with the concept.
Monkeying Around With The Past
MetMo Grip is our tribute to the furious innovation at the start of the last century which lead to an overhaul in the means of production and design of everyday tools. Made using modern methods from contemporary materials, MetMo Grip is an engineering oddity and marvel that's as comfortable as a fidget toy as it is clamping together steel.
Gripping Features
We engineered in an array of useful features. From a standard 1/4 inch bit holder to a handy box opener, the MetMo Grip is ready to tackle your daily tasks with ease.
Who's it For?
Made for designers, engineers, thinkers, and anyone who wants to just take a moment to focus, relieve stress or just play around.
For the tool lover, or the biggest spanner you know, anyone can appreciate the might of the Grip.
A Fidget Toy That's Also a Handy Tool
The MetMo Grip isn't just a super satisfying desk toy, we made sure it could step up when a job needed doing, and do it well.
Satisfaction Zone
Simply sliding the jaws open and closed is huuuuuuugely satisfying. The weight feels reassuring in your hand, and you know that if you do ever need to get a grip on something MetMo is there for the job.
Snappy Gripping
No more fiddling with your adjustable wrenches, spinning the gear over and over until (maybe) you fix it in the right place. The MetMo Grip design is snappable in a second and securely locks in place so you get it right first time, every time.
Laser Focused
Laser engraved measurement markings on the Grip mean you can pre-set to a nut size. In a pinch you can whip out your Grip for a quick measurement, so you always have a handy size guide for your nuts.
Lefty, righty, metric, imperial - it doesn’t matter, because MetMo Grip does it all. Down the spine of the Grip, these measurement markings are easy to read.
No callipers? No problem! (...So long as you aren't working to +/-1mm).
Multi-Functional Back End
Not just an adjustable wrench, the Grip also has a driver bit holder, a box cutter, and a bottle opener built in to the jaws. A perfect workshop companion, your Grip can help with the task at hand.
What's MetMo Grip Made Of?
The Grip is machined from solid stainless steel, with a hard anodised 6061 aluminium adjuster.
316 stainless steel components form the body of MetMo Grip, with a precision formed solid rod and CNC machined jaws. The helix shaft is machined from 1020 passivated carbon steel that's ready to take on the rigours of any tough job.
6061 hard anodised aluminium is the chosen metal for the adjuster. Lightweight and durable, aluminium adds function without adding extra weight.
CNC Precision
Precision manufactured using five axis CNC machinery puts the Grip a cut above the rest. With the precise tolerances achievable with modern manufacturing, our re-imagining of this wrench is more fluid and satisfying than the original, as well as being stronger and more reliable.
Why This Design?
We found the original tool and immediately fell in love with just how satisfying it was to use and fiddle with. We found ourselves constantly playing with the mechanism whilst at our desks. It was so fascinating watching the motion and feeling the weight of such a well constructed tool, it left us feeling that this was something we just had to share with the world!
We set out to recreate this elderly design with a focus on making it useful as well as enjoyable, to have and to hold even when it's not being used as a tool.
Why Not a Modern Variable Wrench or Spanner?
We wanted the Grip to stand out against modern tools by keeping its vintage design roots, resembling the trusty engineers precision calipers.
We also wanted to honour the legacy and impact of the Wrench Wars. Without this period of rapid innovation, we'd likely have fewer options in terms of the tools we have today. Necessity begets invention, as they say, and though now a half-forgotten relic, the Grip style can make a comeback in the 21st Century.3
What's The Deal, Why Does It Cost £119.99?
The choice of materials in this product adds to the overall cost. As you probably know, stainless steel, while extremely durable, is costly and difficult to work with. Getting the threads of the Grip precision machined requires a specialist manufacturer, one who we've worked with before and who is capable of producing such critical components.
Normally tools are made from low cost metals that are stamped out, but not the Grip. We wanted to create a piece that was less mass manufactured and more fitting to the tool's heritage, as well as being top quality to last a lifetime.
I love it, it's a well-made quality product that is both unique in design and purpose. I have found several uses for it already and it performs all tasks very well. I even used it as a small hammer for some tacks to secure a piece of leather to a chair, tightening nuts on my guitar and removing a switch from my way pedal. And then there's the fidget factor, I also removed the top off my beer bottle and turned some hex bits with this tool as well. What's not to like, I’m glad I bought it and highly recommended to anyone else who might be on the fence about doing the same. Adrian UK
A very solid and sturdy tool, works great
It is very well made and genius. I have used it multiple times already and was very good when I needed it for my daughters bike.
I think this is awesome, I have used it for a load of different jobs already. Very well made and will last a long time.
at first the grip was tight and worked ok after some medium use the grip is now sloppy and does not work well it is a conversation piece only. not worth it
Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that! Something doesn't sound quite right with your Grip so I'll have our customer service team reach out and they can take a closer look. We'll get this sorted for you!CheersTeam MetMo
I have found two different knockoffs of this on the web. Both were hard to adjust and didn’t lock up well. The first thing I noticed with the Metmo was the weight. Heavy and perfectly made. Adjusts smooth as glass and stays there.
I am using the grip at work .the initial quality is average the tool needs break in time.long term the grip will be better than average
Pefection. Art. And it’s also a brilliant spanner. Metmo stuff makes me so happy!
Like it and very well made. Recommended.
The grip is smooth. I literally don’t understand how it works
Well made tool, kind of how I remember tools being decades ago. Opens slightly wider than my Bahco 6" adjustable, but takes up more space in the pocket. Overall, beautifully made, interesting mechanism and serves more than one purpose. I didn't need it at all, but I like it a lot.
I am a mechanical engineering graduate. I returned the item as I felt, considering the cost, the tool was poorly machined with poor tolerances. I also felt customer services were reluctant to accept the return. However, they did and provided a prompt, full refund upon return of the item.
Loving mine and can't stop playing with it, It's well made usfull and i can inpress my freinds with it. Only bad point, made in China, Admitidly its made well in China but inside my hairy little head i wish it was made in the UK.
Excellent craftsmanship and fantastic materials. This is very useful around the home and in my shop.
Got my replacement on this tool today, and it is INCEDIBLE! Super fast and easy to use and once set, it locks right in place. Very happy and going to order a second one now.Mike
Very cool as a fidget but doesn’t hold so well as an adjustable wrench.
I love Metmo and have bought quite a few things from them. I just got my Grip in the mail, and while it is cool, the action does not glide easily and binds often. very hard and stuck sometimes too. I tried lubricating it and running it over and over and it is still the same. It is cool though. Just not working how I expected it to work.
Functionally its fine and well built but the sliding action is not smooth. The action tends to jam up when trying to open and close the jaw. I feel like that was a pretty big selling point that missed.
Hey Aaron,I'm sorry to hear that! If you're able, can you send a video of this to our customer service team on hello@metmocube.com and they can help out with this.
I don’t know how it works. I don’t know why it works. But, it doesn’t just work, it works well. The wrench grabs a hold of a nut and doesn’t let go. It also easy to adjust. My only problem with tool is that it is almost too beautiful to use.
As soon as I unpacked this MM Grip, it felt right. The sliding action was very smooth with no sticking points. Actually the packaging is pretty impressive and that sets your mind with a good feeling of confidence in paying a lot for one hand tool. But sooo worth it. I thought it would need "breaking in" but it is delightful to use from the word “go”.
Looks gorgeous but the jaw is pretty wobbly even when it locksI'd hoped that for the price, it would be a bit more precision madeI had planned to use it rather than display it but...
It is far and away the most effective shifting spanner i have ever used, and it is a lot more. Beautifully engineered, aesthetically pleasing and incredibly versatile.
This is a solid, quality tool that feels great in the hand. I will enjoy using it.
This thing is smooth as silk and works great.
This is more than a tool. In my tool box it adds a very precise and smoothly adjustable wrench, with both flat and pincher business ends. But it is also a piece of art, something I like to leave around on my work table or desk to be admired and played with by friends. And, secret be told, it is a fidget device that draws my fingers into action when I have nothing to do but dream up clever ideas or just engage in idle play.
Does not operate very smoothy and binds frequently.
Hi Matthew,
We're sorry to hear that! This isn't what we'd expect from a Grip, though sometimes they do need a little bit of working in to get them running as smooth as possible. That said, if you'd like to replace or return your Grip you can get in touch with our customer service team on hello [at] metmocube [dot] com.
Thanks,
Team MetMo
Positivity 😇🤴🙏🙌✨🖤
The first was an impulse buy(driver)this was a targeted purchase.Another precious tool that will replace numerous old devices collected over the years.Why keep it for best, use it.
Superb engineering
It's a uniquely designed, very high quality tool that is beautiful as it is practical.
I really liked the tool, very well made. I would also like the bolts and rod to be made of stainless steel as well
