A Hardwood Wrench® has the following features:

• Cam locks in place for true hands free “one man” operation
• Capable of bending multiple boards simultaneously
• High quality anodized aircraft grade aluminum with hardwood handle
• Easily reversible handle
• Adjusts to various sized joists
• No extra tools are necessary
• A solid steel deck tool
• Proudly made in the USA

Besides the hammer, the Hardwood Wrench® is most useful tool for anyone wanting to build a deck. There are other deck wrenches on the market and some are even serviceable. However, while only some work, the major problem is that they are so cheaply constructed that they break as often as they straighten out a deck board. In addition, other deck tools also fail to be reversible, so if you needed to fix a warped deck board that was close to a wall, the decking tool you had would be useless. Or, worse, you could try using it and end up going through some excruciating and time consuming “methods” of straightening the board. These methods include, jumping up and down on the board; kicking the board; and asking the board very politely if it will straighten itself out. If you are considering any of the above methods, then I think you’d be a good candidate to be a Hardwood Wrench® owner.
