I completely concur. The only thing I use a crescent wrench for is a hammer or a pry bar when an actual one is not available. However, I am glad that Swift figured the whole conspiracy out, though...hap wrote:Swift wrote:geonuc wrote:You're just a tool of the machine.
Can I pick which tool I am... can I? I want to be a crescent wrench... everyone like crescent wrenches!
I don't. I have always referred to them as 'knuckle busters' given their tendency to slip off of the nut. I much prefer a proper fitting box or open end wrench.

In Oz, a Crescent wrench is called formerly a "shifting spanner" and informally an AFS. Any Fucking Size.
Apparently in Virginia it's referred to as a West Virginian socket set. So I'm told.

That's only for rounding a nut faster than a cresent wrench.

I've rarely managed to get a nut loose using pliers.
I've heard pliers are no good for any mechanical work but are great for kinky sex...

I've gotten more than one nut loose with pliers. Hmmm.

i don't understand the last few posts and i suspect that that is just as well. please do not try to explain.
i've found pliers essential for making jewelry and very useful for getting the plastic insets out of bottles when i get them ready for recycling.

That's only because you are using them intelligently.
