Yeah, I have several adjustable wrenches, in both metric and
imperial sizes. Some are both metric and imperial size. ;-)

I know it's a joke, but I have exactly such a beast, with an SAE
scale on one side, and a metric on the other.

I was referring to the "8in" on one side and "300mm" on the other.
;-) They probably have the scale on them too (pretty useless, so I don't
remember).

True. They're not nearly accurate enough. I set my adjustable wrenches
with a dial caliper before applying them to the nut.


Well - that's ok for you guys that call things good enough. For me - I do
the dial caliper thing, and then I hit the wrench with my mig welder to make
sure it won't move. Ya can never be too safe ya know...



Safer still, weld the adjustable wrench to the nut!
