_x000D_Adjustable wrenches should never be found in a tool box. They’re a good concept, but are worthless in reality. Assemble the right tool kit for your needs, and use the correct tool job.

Tell that to two groups of mechanics heavy duty field mechanics and millwrights.
Ever seen some of the bolt sizes they work on and where they work? would you like to be a millwright carrying a 3″ wrench, a 2 1/2″ and a 1 3/4″ up ten flights up stairs and realise when you get to the top you grabbed one wrong wrench or be a heavy duty mechanic 200km away from the shop working on the hydraulic lines of a feller buncher and needing two 2 1/4″ wrenches but only have one?
Trust me there are times where it helps to have one of these things. I rarely use them, but it can be a life saver at times.Point well made….But I would be the guy owning and carrying the full on assortment of wrenches, but then again I have a tool addiction problem :cheer: and love buying things in sets, and also for what ever application I so happen to be working on.
