I'm not the most in the know about tools because I'm not a home depot mexican but I noticed adjustable wrenches seem increasingly less common
 
Too bulky and heavy, better to have a set of vanadium steel open-end wrenches and a ratchet set. I realized that when I happen to need an open-end wrench, I wouldn't be able to fit an adjustable one there anyway.
 
Those fuckers tend to slip and cant hold shit

But its either that or have one of every size wrench that was ever made
 
theyre called mexican speed wrenches. i have a few at the shop and a few at home. i use them mainly on other tools. like when the air hose brakes i grab the mexican speed wrenches and get-a-fixing.
 
I use adjustable wrenches for Steering Rod adjustments, wingnut tightening for pressure testing, and getting an estimate so I can run around asking for a socket size.
Oh, and hitting.
