Matthews Studio Equipment has launched the Patriot Wrench, a versatile tool designed to improve efficiency on set.
This innovative wrench includes the seven most common industry-specific cutouts, catering to standard grip and lighting equipment.
Collaboration with Industry Professional
The Patriot Wrench was developed in collaboration with Aaron Hammel, a Local 80 Operator and owner of Patriot Camera Cars. This single tool solution addresses most cranking, tightening, and wrenching needs, eliminating the necessity for bulky multi-tool accessories or multiple wrenches.
Durable and Lightweight Design
Constructed from 6061-T6 Aluminum and finished with a Type III Hardcoat Anodizing, the Patriot Wrench is both lightweight and durable. It is a practical addition to any grip’s toolkit.
