    All or nothing well! They don't really fit anything well. Maybe good for a homeowner working on his bicycle but that's about it. An old friend's father was the shop foreman at a car dealership. He would fire a mechanic using an adjustable wrench.

    And yet Snap-On has ten different models - https://store.snapon.com/Adjustable-C629574.aspx

    Just kidding.

    We use big adjustable wrenches at work all the time changing out hydraulic lines and things of that nature on heavy equipment.

    When used correctly they work well and are quicker than having a handful of specific sizes, when in the field you always grab the wrong one first and then the second one isn't right either lol. It wouldn't be so bad but different sized equipment takes different sized wrenches and usually the couplers are in two different sizes so just grab the one big adjustable and go no worries.

    On the other hand though they are the last thing I grab doing personal work.

    I was walking through the SSA and saw a smaller roll away five drawer tool box strapped upside down to a pallet.
    It was exposed to the weather and the drawers we unsecured.
    Armourers tool box and at one time a beautiful set. Unfortunately half the tools were missing and the tourque wrenches and gauges were all rusted.
    I almost frigging cried when we got it open. The foam cut out held all the available moisture and ruined a lot of good stuff.

    Adjustable wrenches blow, but there are times when space and weight restrictions leave you with little choice. Snap On makes an adjustable Crows Foot that's saved me a couple times.

    Never use adjustable wrenches on anything you care about. Nine times out of ten, whatever you're using it on will be f**ked up.

    We used to call Vice-Grips the poor man's socket set. Crescent wrench we called nasties. Not sure how these names propagated but that's what we called them back in the day.

    Vice grips and crescent wrenches have their place... For emergency use only. Like on your boat or motorcycle. I would write off a professional mechanic or gun plumber using them as a joke. Like the guy using a nail set and claw hammer to stake a gas block.

    I'd rather see someone use a claw hammer and a nail on an AR than Vise Grips.
