Company-branded products are often made overseas. The manufacturers supply user documentation. Written in English, by writers for whom English is a second language, this documentation then has to be rewritten for use by the American public. In order to be acurately translated, more information is gathered from the engineers and writers working with the manufacturer. The following is a typical example.

THE WAY TO USE

Photo #1: Turbo Wrench tightly holding an odd-sized nut.

Caption: To turn right and then the bolt will be up & lock the nut for opening or closing.

Photo #2: Standard Cresent Wrench not grasping same nut.

The traditional tool can't dismantle non-angle nut & would hurt the user's hand.

Photo #3: Turbo Wrench tightly holding the odd-sized nut, from a different point-of-view.

By Turbo Wrench is easy to open non-angle nut. To use an iron stick putting into the point like drawing and turn right.

ENJOY YOUR TURBO WRENCH!

Using the TURBO WRENCH is as easy as picking up a pencil.

Photo #2:

These odd-shaped, flat-mounted nuts are tough to break with even the best crescent wrench. Just think about no more broken knuckles from tools slipping and sliding.

TURBO WRENCH'S unique design holds the nut from all possible sides, at the same time. Simply turn the wheel on the TURBO WRENCH handle, until it holds the nut securely. Then, turn to tighten or loosen.
