Exploring Wright’s Cutting-Edge Innovations
In the world of professional hand tools, innovation is crucial for enhancing performance and safety. When faced with the toughest jobs, professionals turn to Wright tools because they are engineered to deliver superior quality and durability. Wright is committed to quality and technological advancement and has developed three groundbreaking patents: Wright Grip 2.0®, Wright Drive 2.0® and Wright Square.
Each of these innovations brings a unique set of improvements to tool design, ensuring users benefit from increased efficiency, reduced fastener damage and enhanced grip. Let’s dive into how these new tools are setting new standards in the industry.
Wright Grip 2.0
The Wright Grip 2.0 addresses common issues such as jaw slippage and fastener damage. By increasing steel-to-fastener contact in high-stress areas, the Wright Grip 2.0 significantly strengthens the tool and reduces permanent jaw spread.
Key features of the Wright Grip 2.0 include:
- Enhanced Contact and Torque: The new design offers more torque with less fastener damage. Stress is distributed evenly over a larger contact area, effectively moving away from the fastener corners. This results in improved grip and reduced likelihood of slippage.
- Strategic Grooves and Teeth: The insides of the wrench’s jaws feature strategically placed teeth or grooves. These elements ensure a better fit and prevent the fastener from slipping or twisting under load.
- Durability and Precision: Constructed with premium Wright alloy steel and featuring precision broaching, the Wright Grip 2.0 delivers consistent quality and precise tolerances. The custom-engineered protrusions for each wrench size further enhance its performance.
Wright Drive 2.0
The Wright Drive® 2.0 design focuses on improving the distribution of contact stress, enhancing performance and reducing fastener damage.
Highlights of the Wright Drive 2.0 include:
- Expanded Contact Area: The 12-point design of the Wright Drive 2.0 offers up to 10 times more tool-to-fastener contact area compared to traditional 12-point sockets. This expansion results in improved torque load and decreased rounding and distortion of the fastener.
- Enhanced Strength and Torque: The 6-point design shifts the contact area away from the corners, increasing strength and torque. It also provides a better grip on undersized fasteners and previously rounded corners.
Wright Square
Wright’s Wright Square brings the advanced technology of Wright Drive 2.0 to the square end of sockets. This innovative design enhances performance and extends the life of the socket by improving contact and grip where the socket attaches to the ratchet or impact gun.
Key features of the Wright Square include:
- Increased Contact Area: The Wright Square design provides 10 times more contact area than conventional sockets. This reduces stress on the corners and enhances performance.
- Enhanced Durability: By relocating load and stress away from the corners, Wright Square improves socket life. The optimized contact areas and precision broaching ensure consistent quality and tolerances.
Wright continues to lead the way in tool innovation with the Wright Grip 2.0, Wright Drive 2.0 and Wright Square. These products represent significant advancements in wrench and socket designs, offering professionals improved safety and performance and greater durability. By incorporating advanced technology, Wright is setting new standards and meeting the evolving needs of the industry.
