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!

I would have expected nothing less from you Leon. I've seen your
workmanship and this kind of contribution makes it clear why you are the
craftsman that you are. All we need now if for Karl to chime in and tell us
that it would be better if we were still using arc welders...

Does Festool make arc welders?
