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.

;-)

How about just putting it on the nut and turning the knob until it
fits?

Because that is how they did it in the olden days.



Rather than welding, I prefer to Loctite my wrench to the nut. Once it
sets up, I can turn the nut without fear of the wrench slipping. When
the nut's finally tight, a few seconds with a propane torch takes the
wrench right off.
