That Cornwell from a few posts up even has extra meat on the box end. I haven't seen that before. I can't think of anything as clever as "lobster claw" for the box end though. Maybe it's having an allergic reaction to the "lobster claw" on the other end.

It is really weird, usually spammers have links in their posts. This has to be one of the best first posts I have ever seen. Welcome to GJ keep on that path and you will be banned before you know it.

That Cornwell is pretty bad. It must be a 8/10mm blank or something. My CM Pro series wrenches do have a little bit of lobster claw like the one in your pics but I always have liked them.

Those Chicom raised panel ones are just sad. I was at Home Depot and was checking out their loose wrenches and they might be worse than the CM ones.
