Title: Concept gets a 10....performance gets 0
Review: Faced with replacing a 25 year old, 1500 s/f deck, the BoWrench looked liked it would be a great help; after all, leverage is one of man's best friends. However, it was a big disappointment. It lacks an adequate grip on the joists, and tends to slip back along the joist, just when you are at a critical point. They need to redesign the gripper jaws to really grip the joist. I'd recommend some type of cam-like action. To keep it from slipping I found that I had to drive a screwdriver or a couple of nails behind it into the joist. The same problem occurs with the "Adjustable" attachment for wider joists. All-in-all I would not recommend wasting your money. A crow-bar or heavy screwdriver driven into the joist works just as well and is easy to use. Anybody want to buy a hardly used BoWrench...cheap?
