hell thats the only tool you'd ever need!!!
Well, if the far end were ground down to be a flathead screwdriver, then I'd say yes, but otherwise, it's only maybe half or three-quarters of the tools you'd ever need

Well, I guess I could use the hammer end to hit you in the head with after you hand me that instead of the 9/16" wrench I ask you for.

thats the best tool to EVER take to a junkyard. you can unbolt the item, then smack it to break it loose and never have to pick up another tool.

Scott, you know damn well I use the right wrench for the job ... including flare nut wrenches when appropriate. The adjustables are only used for plumbing ... or as hammers when angry
But you have a point; on the older pre-metric trucks, a 9/16" wrench would cover more than three-quarters of the fasteners...

My hatred for adjustable wrenches is not something I can explain in words that would not be edited.

You do know that screws can be hammered in right?Well, if the far end were ground down to be a flathead screwdriver, then I'd say yes, but otherwise, it's only maybe half or three-quarters of the tools you'd ever need

Who says screwdrivers are for screws? Prybar, hammer, chisel, paint (and beer!) can opener, the flathead screwdriver is a multi-purpose tool!

Crescent is the big manufacturer of adjustables. Kinda like Irwin's "Vise-Grips" is actually a specific brand of adjustable locking pliers.

That reminds me of these old "railroad" wrenches. Its a pipe wrench with a hammering surface on it.
