Enough! I quit!

[BFBOB]

I finally added a 24" to my collection of Crescent and Crescent-pattern adjustable wrenches. Here's a family portrait of the whole shebang. I'm now declaring it Complete! Oh, there are 30" and even bigger adjustables, but they are not Crescent pattern ... as far as I've seen. But, if I came across a 2" that's a real tool, not a charm bracelet trinket, I suppose I'd have to buy it.

But for now, I'm happy. Now I've got wrenches to fit even my biggest trailer ball nuts!

What happens with me is I find one in nicer condition, then the entire process starts over.

Might have to organize a rescue party..

By the looks of the thread title; Mrs. BFBOB has poor old Bob locked up in the broom closet, and has hi-jacked his computer...

Being those wrenches didn't come with an instruction manual; I'm not so dern sure I would want one

SAE on one end and metric on the other!

1 end for loosening and 1 end for tightening?

Good for day or nite work.

There's a few 30" models on ebay right now. They're really nice. One of those would be a perfect addition to your "incomplete" collection. Just think about it.

Couldn't just keep that to yourself, could you?
And I just had to look, didn't I?
At first, they were all other patterns, but as I scrolled down the list, there are indeed two that are Crescent pattern. Fortunately, they are both new and expensive. One is a no-name for $212, and the other is a Bahco for a breathtaking $457!! Ok, I can pass those up, no problem. But now I've got to put Big Crescent back on my BOLO list.
Thanks a heap.

BTW, SWMBO let me out of the closet long enough to agree to quit nagging her about her teacups and build another china cabinet.

So you can turn two nuts at once!

My dad was an adjustable kind a guy. I prefer real wrenches.

I have often said... ok I'm done... then I read about some fine tool one of you folks got... and suddenly there are packages on their way.

BFBOB, don't forget the 16". Craftsman had it before they went to 15".

No! No! Noooooooooooooo!

OKay I'll bite, what is Crescent "pattern"? My ocd would not let me have all those different brand names, I have a nice selection of Craftsman brand, most sizes in pairs but no real large ones yet.

I think one side is metric

 

[3baygarage]

No! No! Noooooooooooooo!
