Not the best, just a cheapie 4" I have in my pocket at work. Comes in handy though for getting into things or tightening loose things and works better than the Surge pliers

A group shot of some 7 inch and under adjustable wrenches sent to me from the U.K. by my buddy Tony.

You, bet! And the best kind of rust too! Old rust!

Is this still open? I only saw it today (guess I'm not much of a collector...).

Sparky415 · **Reply #101 on:** October 24, 2018, 06:18:01 PM

No need to thank me!

I don't have any impressive rarity, but I have a couple of these I use from time to time. Pics tomorrow!

As promised, here are my two most used wrenches. The little one serves for more precise tasks, like replacing the car battery. The large one I use mainly for plumbing (just replacing fawcets).

Yes, there's more than one Mad Plumbarian around here...

Sparky415 · **Reply #105 on:** October 25, 2018, 08:08:01 PM

Cool

Like a plumber?

so the big one gets used for hammering

MadPlumbarian · **Reply #106 on:** October 25, 2018, 10:33:28 PM

Lol,
If you want a “wrench” for hammering then you have to go with something like this.. of course there’s also plumbing wrenches..

This one makes me happy and very sad. This is a 6 inch Walworth Stillson pattern pipe wrench. Unfortunately it is missing the adjustment nut. Approximately 75 years old.

Needed a wrench this morning for plumbing duty’s, and I don’t mean sitting on the toilet!

Hey Prsantos, I noticed that big wrench of yours by Dexter is orange and black. Does that mean it is a Bear Grylls wrench?

I don't think so, awlthough it's used in places where you find his favourite drink...

Sparky415 · **Reply #115 on:** November 04, 2018, 05:17:33 PM

I keep forgetting about this thing

I did the thing with the other thing and got Number 9
So looks like Nix has won this one

Nix · **Reply #116 on:** November 04, 2018, 05:41:00 PM

Oh wow!

Thanks, Sparky & Not-so-BadWolf!!!

Fun contest and I loved seeing all the entries and cool wrench photos!

Like a few others, I prefer using a dedicated box or open-ended wrench, but it's hard to beat the versatility and convenience of an adjustable: they work on both metric, SAE, and Whitworth nuts and bolts.

I've got a few different sizes, ranging from 4" to 15". While the box wrench reigns supreme in my garage or hobby room, it's the adjustable I have with me when walking or driving around. In my motorcycle tool kit I keep a few key box/open wrenches and specific sockets, but I also have an adjustable for the unexpected.

I find an 8" adjustable to be the most useful all-around size, but my favorite is probably this 4" Diamond Horseshoe adjustable. Slips easily into a bag or pocket and has proven useful in a number of situations when I don't have the right tool at hand. And it's often just quicker and easier to pull a 4" out of a bag or pocket for some small job. Paired with a multi, it's a versatile combination for EDC.

Congrats Nix! You won with 4 inches!
