The stage production multitool with an offset ratcheting head that will do everything you want.

Story

Who are the crazy chimps behind this?

After 20+ years in the entertainment industry, Seth Scott saw a need for the right tool to cover all entertainment tech’s needs. He started from the ground up in the industry – loading in, setting up stages, hanging and focusing lights, and as a repair technician. Over time he used his accumulated knowledge of entertainment lighting and rigging to help his clients select quality equipment that meets their needs and budget. 

Seth is always looking for quality tools to help make his client’s life easier. He wanted a tool with the strength to last a career, the functionality to do the majority of the tasks that techs need, and the design to do it in a way that will make their lives easier without breaking their knuckles. 

It is FINALLY here! After many rounds of design and 2 rounds of real-world torture testing, we are ready to bring the Monkey Wrench to the entertainment lighting industry. We are currently in production of our initial batch of 500 wrenches.
