Hands On Review: Sears Craftsman Ratcheting Box End Wrench [Ball Lock Keg Wrench]

Craftsman’s model 421165 Ratcheting Box End Wrench has has both an 11/16th end and a 7/8th end. That makes it perfect for the two standard sizes of ball lock posts! I’ve had a chance to give it a try and I think it’s amazing.

Stock Photo

The ratcheting function speeds up post tightening and loosening. Having this wrench also means you’ve got one go-to wrench no matter what type of ball lock post you’re working with. The wrench is solidly built and has the Craftsman Guaranteed Forever Warranty.

Update: 9/2014. I’m still using the same wrench I got back in 2012 and it’s still working great.

Craftsman 11/16 x 7/8 in. Wrench, Ratcheting Box-End

Flashlight for brewing?!? Dorcy 150 Lumen Flashlight

You may be thinking- why is my beloved Homebrew Finds talking about flashlights? Well here’s why- this flashlight has become an important homebrewing tool for me.

I use this flashlight for inspecting kegs to make sure they’re clean. My brewing area isn’t that well lit, so this thing helps a lot.

This flashlight is amazingly bright, small and easy to use with the tactical on/off button on the end cap.
