My adjustable wrench game is weak. I need to buy some good ones. Ones that adjust smoothly, don’t have a ton of slop, and hold their setting. What works well for you?

Those look like channel lock type pliers and not the same as the crescent styled ones we all have, I worked with a mechanic like 30 years ago and when I showed up on the job with my box and he saw the several different crescent styled wrenches I had he jokingly tossed then is the trash and told me to get the proper sized wrench.I’ve had these in my Amazon wishlist forever... someday I’ll buy them.

Correct. They are not crescent wrenches, but are also not channel locks. Have a look at YouTube demo of these... they’re pretty awesome.

No worries.... I have a set of three different Craftsman branded ones from like 20 years ago and still use them all the timeThanks for the feedback everyone. Yes, we all know that adjustable wrenches are not an ideal tool but they are something that I need from time to time.
I carry a Cobra Wrench in 6" and 12" and Cobra Pliers in 9" and they can handle a lot of jobs. But they are not a replacement to a good set of wrenches and sockets.I’ve had these in my Amazon wishlist forever... someday I’ll buy them.

Agree, which is why I haven’t yet splurged on these... but they do look useful.I carry a Cobra Wrench in 6" and 12" and Cobra Pliers in 9" and they can handle a lot of jobs. But they are not a replacement to a good set of wrenches and sockets.
