How many crescent wrenches do you need?

[Gramps]

Yesterday I looked in my tool box and my gun work bench and came up with these. I think there is more in the boat and the SXS.

 

[TimeBandit]

You need 2, a metric one and a standard one.

 

[hman442]

That's almost enough, there are a couple bigger, and a couple smaller. Get those and you'll be set.

 

[jetboatperformance]

Got dozens , My Son is a tool junkie , Best ones are vintage US made AND the cheap ones where the thumbwheel is Ass backawrds SUCK

 

[timstoy]

You can never have enough tools!

what about left and right????

 

[buck35]

I've got a 4 inch crescent. Handy as hell!

 

[bilz]

Always take two with you incase you need to chuck one.

 

[LuauLounge]

I've got a 6' high 7' wide rollaway and I outfitted the easiest drawer to get to with common pliers, screwdrivers, crescent wrenches, etc. I haven't opened any other drawers for years.

 

[napanutt]

Don’t forget the 12 pointers.

 

[NicPaus]

8 in each truck. 8 or so in each garage. Half dozen at the river. 8 in the plumbing enclosed. I would guess at least 60.

 

[HBCraig]

And a few sizes of channel locks

 

[NicPaus]

I have almost that many channel locks. Not quite that many pipe wrenches. But picked up this 36" ridgid, 5 vise grips and a smooth jaw channel lock last week at yard sale. Plumber that lives next block over selling. 40 years of tools. Package deal. $40 for the wrenches along with a bunch of other stuff I bought.

Between all the go bags, Car bags, boat bags, home tool box, and shop boxes I bet I have 50. They are like rabbits. If you take your eyes off them they multiply.

 

[Crazyhippy]

Nice hammer collection there!

Score!!!

 

[Your ad here]

I think I have 2. One in the garage box and one in the service truck. I don't like them.

 

[QC22]

I only see 4. The rest are open end adjustables. You need to step it up!

 

[Baja 252]

Do these count?

 

[500bbc]

You need the correspondingly sized vise grip for when you round off the nut.

 

[Bajastu]

I have a whole drawer full of them at my house, two at the Parker house, one in the boat, truck, and off road truck. Basically too many.

[napanutt]

Cleaning out the back seat area of my truck today and came across this bad boy. Heavy duty brand metric version. Hardly used.

 

[rrrr]

I only have one, but it can handle all of the fasteners around the shop.

 

[TrollerDave]

You can never have enough tools!

Right? I’d call Gramp’s collection “A good start.”

 

[WTR&PWR]

I have about 12 but don’t think I’ve ever bought one. They just seem to show up.

 

[napanutt]

Right?
Pretty sure no one ever specifically buys an adjustable wrench.

 

[Orange Juice]

I have a bunch of non ferrous adjustable wenches. Brass and titanium.

That’s a combo metric/SAE!!! Wow!

 

[DLC]

I have quite a few

but
I tried a Proto click stop and think I need at least 6 of them!

The click stop doesn’t allow the jaw to work itself loose, so it stays tight on your nuts or the bolt …. which ever way you like it !


lol

 

[Boatymcboatface]

Doesn’t matter how many you have you can never find the 10mm one!

 

[Backlash]

Turn the standard adjustable wrench over, then you'll see the metric sizes.

How do you use the back side of this as a hammer when the head pivots?

 

[racektm]

[Dog]

Sometimes you need more...

 

[TexasJet]

I don't see a 10 mm in the pictures.

Saw something like this on a job years back.
Genius. Worked great. Fixed in an hour!

 

[port austin pirate]

my boss at the gas station I worked at as a kid called em Knuckle busters former navy aircraft mechanic ww 2 , they are handy though.

 

[MPHSystems]

I need 1, a med adjustable end wrench and a small adjustable end ranch. I have a big one, it wasn’t in my work truck Thursday when a thief stole all my tools.

 

[lenmann]

Anyone ever try one of these? A little spendy but supposed to be a better mousetrap.

 

[wishiknew]

Need one of these for the collection....

That is a iron worker’s crescent wrench you put the pointed end in the steel to line up the bolts with the holes I dont think they would use a crescent wrench

 

[rrrr]

Ahem! That's an adjustable spud wrench.

 

[Nordie]

Yep, because that's one hole you don't want to stick your fingers in.

 

[racektm]

Ahem! That's an adjustable spud wrench.

Exactly!

Need one of these next.....

I don't have any. As a kid, my dad had a couple vintage MG's. I was probably around 10-12 and was working on one of the cars. Something simple, I'm sure. My dad came out to "observe" and I was attempting to use a Crescent wrench on a stubborn bolt. He lit me up! Took the tool from my hand and threw it into the back yard. He said don't ever use one of "those tools" on my cars. I guess it stuck.

I am a electrician and know better than use that

When I got out of high school I worked at a Lincoln mercury dealer that sold mg-b doing dealer prep I never bleed so much as to install radios in them cars you had to lay on your back on the driver seat good thing I wasn’t fat then

Does my vice grip count?

In all seriousness, I have a few of these and they rock.

 

[Sandlord]
