The advantage of the color-coding system
PB Swiss Tools is the inventor of the color-coding system for hand tools. With the RainBow L-wrench in a plastic holder, the colors are assigned based on the different sizes. Once you have got to grips with the system, the right tool can always be found quickly. This saves a great deal of valuable time for both apprentices and experienced workers – as was shown by the test. The system also holds up to regular use, as the colors do not peel off when used extremely frequently.

Small details, massively suitable for everyday work
One of the positive aspects identified by the testing was that the dimensions of the RainBow L-wrench are user-optimized with a longer handle and shorter key part. This results in the tool being comfortable to hold in the hand – even when used intensively. 

As regards suitability for everyday use, the ball point allowed the tradespersons taking part in the test to turn loose screws to an angle of up to 30°, which means that almost every screw can be made accessible. 

Evaluations
In this section, we would like to give the tradespersons the opportunity to tell us about their product experiences with the PB 212 LH RB – RainBow L-wrench, long, with ball point, set in a practical plastic holder from PB Swiss Tools in their own words:
 “A very well-made product that sits excellently and ergonomically in your hand. I think that the value for money is justified by the lifetime guarantee, although some comparable well-known manufacturers only demand about half of the RRP of this product. The color-coding system is very practical and helpful in day-to-day use.” – Joiner, four years’ experience

“A visually attractive tool that is excellent to handle. The colored markings are very helpful in day-to-day use and help to shorten the amount of time it takes to find the right size (when different L-wrenches are lying about loose). The amount of plastic used in the holder is reduced to a minimum, yet the L-wrench is still held firmly in place in the holder, even after heavy use. All in all, I am extremely positively surprised and can absolutely recommend the tool!” – Glazier, 22 years’ experience

“A tool that every tradesperson should have.” – Joiner, nine years’ experience

“A great tool that should be in every toolbox!” – Electrician, eight years’ experience

“Very successful development and enormous force transmission!” – Joiner, two years’ experience

“A very good all-rounder with which you can apply a good amount of force.” – Metalworker, five years’ experience
