"Crescent" wrench complaint

[markba633csi]

I agree with Ed, I always thought pulling towards the movable jaw was the best way

Two bits of conflicting information. Crescent has an arrow on the handle of their wrench which presumably indicates the direction of pull and Snap On says this:

Channelock 8wcb is a nice, made in spain wrench-great quality and good price. I have it andlike it.
Japanese Nepros is the best looking with a big price tag!

The only thing I can say about that tool, while obviously of nice quality, is that anyone who pays $165 for an adjustable wrench, deserves to own it. Mike

I have a set of Bahco adjustable 'spanners' that were given to me by my father 30+ years ago, they were given to him by his father way before that. 5", 8", 10" and 12" in the set I have
I use the 10" and smaller 5" version almost daily in my job. They still have no 'headache' in them at all

I carry a 10" crescent wrench in my tractor tool box. That and a pair of vise grips and a couple of screwdrivers have often saved me a walk back to the house for a "proper" wrench.

Agree completely. The small tool box on our big tractor has 2 sizes crescent wrenches a vise grip, 2 screw drivers and the exact size wrench for the shear bolt on rotary mower. Walking a half mile back to barn for a wrench gets old in a hurry. Best Crescent wrench I have is a 1971 12" that I bought new at Hardware store, Japan made True-test. It was expensive for an 18 year old kid.

Around 50 years ago I cut the handle off an 8" adjustable and made a pocket wrench out of it...View attachment 266057View attachment 266057

The above post was a disaster... Let me try again... Is there not a way to delete a post?
I kept getting double pictures. The more I worked with it the more pictures I got. ???

Have you ever seen an adjustable/Vise grip wrench?
