Everyone needs one of these

standard on one side metric on the other.
Honestly, I don't know why they would make this. I have never seen another one. Ironwork? Came from my father.
Crescent brand made in USA...no part numbers.

Pic???

 

[Carguy99]

Ok I don't know why the pic didn't up load try this..

Those double ended Crescent wrenches are sweet. But I think yours is metric on both ends.. it's the rarer right hand thread/left hand thread model.

I've seen only a few of those come up at auction and they always bring more than $100.

what makes an adjustable metric? markings on the head are graduated in metric?

No no no, I think that one's a double-Whitworth.

If both are left handed, its left-handed monkey wrench then right?

Hehe

Good thing about them is if you're using the metric side and flip it over it instantly changes to sae . Crafty manufacturers.

I believe the concept in dbl ended adjustables is that you keep one set for one bolt, the other set for a different bolt, when you have several pairs of two sized fasteners. Like gas regulators.

That looks more like a (insert favorite ethnic group) socket set.

Funny thing about those tools they made them by the boat load but because people hold on to them and never let them go they are going for big bucks. Kind of like holding on to the penny which most of us do.

 

[JDS968]

No, I recognize that one. Upper end is Russian customary units, bottom is in cubits...you know, just in case you have to build an ark or something.

 

[lok]

Two sizes in one maybe?

 

[Outlawmws]

I have one that is an "8" on one end and a 10" on the other Aren't they both the same length? (But the head sizes do match as indicated to the matching single end sizes)

I'm not sure how to tell if a monkey is left handed in the first place.

Besides, there are very few things on a monkey that you'd fix with a wrench.

Ok, that one's funny, but I would think the difference would be in the thickness of the jaws.
Anyway, what you've really got is a 25.4cm on one side and an 8" on the other.

Nope! mine is an older model, SAE!

 

[Carguy99]

ok
One sides for tightening
its to save space
its faster grab and go
one side is a hammer
thats all I got

 

[Outlawmws]

You left off, "its a way to sell a guy another tool that probably already has both"

It may be a case of two wrongs don't make a wright, but two rights make a left ?

)confused, i am( ****, what I do know is that I need an adjustable anything;

whitworth, celcius, or avoirdupois.

Good grief you guys... metric this, standard that, Russian, cubits, right/left thread...

And you guys call your self wrenchers. You should be embarrassed.

If any of you have ever twisted a wrench in earnest, you'd know there are plenty of times when you need one size wrench for the bolt head, and another size for the nut. That's where these come in: you use one end on the bolt head, and the other end to hold the nut on the back side.

Well two rights make a U turn, but three rights WILL make a left...
