Never fails
Always works, had mine for well over 20 years. The teeth don't hold positions as well as it once did, so it is a little loose, other than that it still does what I need it to do. Can't go wrong

A precision engineered workhorse
I have seen less expensive adjustable wrenches of this size, but none as well made and this wrench, which lives up to the standards of the Crescent brand. The finish is excellent and when I put the jaws under tension by torquing a large nut they were parallel to better then a hundredth of an inch as measure by my digital calipers.
Accuracy and finish aside, this tool is meant for hard work. My current house was part of a ranch and the property contains a wealth of junked farm equipment that I regularly harvest for metal parts for new projects. The monkey wrench I had been using would damage the nuts and bolts but this wrench gets the fasteners apart without damage. It is going to see a lot of use.
Everyone should have a minimum of TWO wrenches in their tool box : big & small. I usually opt for a 12" an and 8". This gives me a good amount of flexibility to control and tighten/loosen the nuts i need to, fits into smaller spaces, and yet minimizes the need to carry a full accompaniment of all wrenches of all sizes.
USE
I've had and used Crescent wrenches my entire life. I can't think of ONE example of a time when someone uttered the words "i need a different wrench" or "please give me a wrench that works instead of this one."
Not - a - one. This speaks to the quality and reliability of these Crescent wrenches. In my experience, paying more (and even double in some instances) is TOTALLY worth it when it comes to tools. Made in the U.S.A. and durability are both qualities that i seek when i look for tools for my workshop.
QUALITY
When your body is contorted under a kitchen sink at some strange angle, with your back not happy and about to give out, it's great to have a wrench to fit these tight spaces. This means the work gets done faster, and correctly, eliminating the need for multiple repairs. This 8" wrench is just as mighty and powerful as it's and larger cousin, yet has the ability to close tightly on a target nut, and does so with essentially ZERO wobble. The adjustment worm gear keeps the movable jaw tightly coupled to the assembly, allowing for quality changes in jaw size without the wobble and uncertainty of other knock-off wrenches. Win!
SUMMARY
A well formed adjustable wrench with decades of history behind it give the buyer of this wrench a "warm & fuzzy feeling." And when it comes to fantastic build quality, coupled with stellar performance, the total package gives you a new reason to add this old favorite to your workshop.
I'm very impressed with this Crescent Wrench. Generally, I don't pay attention to brand because of marketing, pricing, etc. This wrench is lighter weight than some others I've used in the past, and there isn't any play at all in the jaw. I've always laughed at the sizing marks for bolt heads/nuts because of the play in the jaws, it would give you an 1/8" or more wrong size from pushing the slide-jaw back and forth. This wrench is tight enough that the sizing marks are accurate. I couldn't get a good picture because of glare but other things like the direction of turn arrow that you can see are handy for people who don't know about turning the wrench the wrong direction can torque the jaw.
My biggest problem with adjustable wrenches in the past was jaw wobble and jaws that would not stay parallel. Of course they were not Crescent either. The adjusting knurl is large and well knurled. There is a reference scale on the side with pointer on movable jaw that is pretty accurate and handy for presetting in awkward situation. Jaw opening is right on 1 1/8”. There is also an arrow on the handle showing the direction of torque for safest use of wrench and the grip is wide and heavy. And hey, they have a FOREVER guarantee.

Solid 8" forged alloy steel wrench with a nice sized handle. I really like the measurements (scale) on the side of the wrench so if I know the size of the nut I'm tightening/loosening, I can set it without have to put the wrench on the nut. My old adjustable wrenches have locks on them, but this wrench does not. The wrench doesn't slip, so I guess this one doesn't need a lock. Guaranteed forever per the packaging. Quality wrench, but 'Made In China.'
I got this wrench to work on my bull dozer. I have a set of big sockets in my shop but I wanted something that would fit in the tool box under the seat to have with me when I am actually working the Cat. Most adjustable wrenches are WAY too small for the big nuts on this dozer even though, I believe, that it is the smallest crawler that Caterpillar ever made. For a big wrench the adjustment action is very smooth. It feels incredibly strong. I have no doubt that the corners on the nut would round off before the wrench failed. I hate to admit it but in an emergency it looks like it also make a hefty pry bar.
Versatile one size fits all - handles the big jobs
This is a heavy duty Crescent brand wrench. I’ve used cresent brand wrenches for years, and this model does not disappoint. The design of the wrench allows it to be used on a range of nut/bolt sizes from very small to over 1 and 11/16 inches with this model. Adjusting is easy, just turn the screw mechanism on the head. It locks in tight and clean, and does not slip. The versatility of have one wrench fit so many sizes is great, and I choose this fifteen inch model because it can work on very large nuts/bolts, well beyond the range of a typical box/open end wrench set that usually max out at ¾ inch. The long handle provides plenty of leverage. This tool has heft – it could double as a hammer! Very versatile, a nice addition to a home toolbox.
I was 20 years old when I learned this is an adjustable wrench
Growing up in the 1960's my dad and my grandpa always called it a Crescent wrench.
And they used it all the time for many different things. I remember being asked to fetch a "Crescent" wrench and I knew what it was.
It wasn't until a decade later I learned that Crescent is a BRAND and not a type of wrench.
It is a great tribute to a company that their brand is known as a type of tool. I even still have some Crescent wrenches that belonged to my dad and grandpa. These things are high quality and last for decades.
I didn't have an 8" one, so I got this. Alas, I see it is made in China now, but it is still a solid tool and I'm sure is the same original specifications.
I'll never call it an adjustable wrench. It will always be a Crescent wrench to me.
