Ever hear of a crescent wrench? Just put some tape on there as not to scratch the chrome.

slap on the wrist naughty naughty crescent wrench the first tool to throw away is the crescent wrench, seconded by vice grips & easie outs all bloody useless and will always make a hopeless task worse.
I have NEVER ever liked them neither did any pro mechanic I ever met.
None of them are accurate enough not to slip & round the nut & rendering it useless to any form of wrench there after.
12 Point sockets preferably 6 point long & short reach , ratchet cranked spanners from the likes of Craftsman & Snap on plus one japanese set whose name escapes me but were a gift from Hirito Watanabe way back in the day.
Rage go and stand by the bar and repeat after me " fitall tools are fit for nothing "

Well I Know from past experience that young women use it to fix what God did not give them quite enough of and having had the pleasure of removing it,

i just bought the correct tool. it was on so tight i would of never been able to get it off with out this shocket i got. its gotta go back on then come off then go back on when the bikes finaly done so i would rather have the right tool...ive f*ck up so many times building bikes using the incorrect tools the wrong way.
