Matthews Studio Equipment debuts Patriot Wrench

GTC Patron, Matthews Studio Equipment announces new Patriot Wrench, a breakthrough tool for on set efficiency. The versatile wrench features the seven most common, industry specific cutouts intended to work with standard grip and lighting equipment across the gamut.

Designed in cooperation with Local 80 Operator and Patriot Camera Cars owner Aaron Hammel, the Patriot Wrench is a single tool solution for most cranking, tightening and wrenching scenarios. Working across units, the wrench offers an alternative to carrying bulky multi-tool accessories or sets of wrenches. Built from 6061-T6 Aluminum and Type III Hardcoat Anodized, it is a lightweight but robust addition to a grip’s supplies.

The Patriot Wrench features a low-profile wingnut wrench, four hex nut cutouts–7/8” (22mm), 9/16” (14mm), 1/2” (12mm) and 3/8” (9mm)–and two square nut cutouts for pipe clamps in 5/16” (8mm) and 1/2" (12mm) sizes. A lanyard hole offers options for safe securement to wrist, body or toolbelt, ensuring the Patriot Wrench is never far from reach.
