Not gonna lie, I learned more from this than I should admit. Thanks for the info. I am digging the tool informational videos.

As always,! thanks for the tips Brian! Will keep the corners intact!

Valuable information. Thank you.

I always knew them as Crescent Wrench or adjustable wrench either way always comes in handy. I saw one on SRF that now has a locking plier or vise grip style handle, time to buy a new tool! Great video👍👍

Look forward to your videos Brian Great job

i just started to do my own work around the house. video was informative

Very useful, thank you Guy

Great info brotha

The amount of force on the two jaws are equal. The movable jaw is weaker than the the fixed jaw. The corner of the nut should contact the movable jaw as close to the body of the wrench as possible in order to reduce the leverage on that weaker jaw.

Lmao worked on my car a done things I never imagined I could do, and realized today that I didn't know how to use an adjustable wrench. Excellent explanation

Got my wrench direction straight!

2:21 Starts to tell how to use it. short version: put all the way on head of nut/bolt. Turn in the rotational direction the POINT of the SMALL part is pointing toward.)

Thank for the info! Trying to unlearn all the wrong info I learned from high school shop classes lol

Question. why does the wrench is better to be used in auch direction? for me it looks like the weak point of the wrench is the adjustable moving part, meaning if you turn it in recommended direction the force is applied on the furthest from the handle point of the adjustable part, hence this increases the force with which the thread thing gets affected (I mean if you know what momentum is) at the same time the stationary part that touches the nut is affected on the closer point to the handle which is no biggie since it is strong..

Please tell me why I manage to get my adjustable wrench stuck on the bolt im loosening? I torque it and the then I cant get the adjustable wrench off the bolt because the wheel wont spin. Im guessing its from turning the adjustable wrench the wrong way when tightning and its putting alot of pressure on the thumb wheel thus jamming it up? Also shouldn’t your backup wrench have the adjustble jaw facing upword because the fitting is trying to spin the same way as the copper male adapter?

Wow, I never knew this. I always thought they were angled so that you could use them in either direction in a tight space.

I came in here to watch how adjustable wrenches were used and due to the image shown in the title clip. The small wrench was shown which was the one I was interested in. No sooner did it get shown than the video shot some where else. I understand in theory that they should all work the same, but, I needed to see how the small was one put together in real time and in reality. Mine just rocks up and down, and I wondered if someone broke mine or swapped/switched. I did notice however in several parts of this video, that you seemed to use a finger to hold the grip in place. Maybe just the way you work. Don't know. I wanted to know if I needed to consider it a loss and move on and buy a new one. Thanks for showing them anyway, and I guess since I don't think they can be repaired (without welding, which seems a lot of effort for such a little tool), I'll have to toss it.

I have always just called the an adjustable wrench. Never used the word jaw or crescent but have heard people refer to them as that.

Well, I didn’t learn anything new, but I’ve been working for over 40’years with tools. Be safe and thanks for the vid!

Crescent Wrench, Crescent Wrench 🔧 all the way 👍

That direction of using a adjustable wrench came from old cast iron wrenches that would break. 21st century tool steel wrenches can transmit more torque and less flex when used in the opposite direction.

How do you use it counterclockwise???

Is your favorite still the HF over the Dewalt?

Shocking how many people either don't know this or don't believe it. And so far I haven't found anyone who knows why it's better to use a crescent wrench in the correct direction. I don't see why these people can't tell the deference by simply trying the damm things both ways. You can literally see them rounding off the nut when used the wrong way. If you look at the angle of the handle it appears to be pulling the wrench off the nut when used the wrong way.

😉👍👌

I feel so dumb...never knew this...

ive always just said "adjustable wrench."

I just say adjustable

Have you ever heard of a tooth brush
