My branch of the company I work for got a bunch of John Deere Gators from another branch. While I was in the middle of refurbishing one of them I found something in the underhood storage tray. It was the fabled metric crescent wrench. I have heard rumors of their existence but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would own one. Feast your eyes on the last tool I will ever need!!!

 

I can't tell from the picture... is it a right or left hand one?

 

Very Cool! I didn't even know there was such a thing..........

 

I heard once they won't work in the northern hemisphere, something to do with the direction of the toilet flushing.

 

In Europe do you really think they call them 6" crescent wrenches?

 

Its a precision tool its got 20mm worth of marked incremental adjustment also.

 

Did you know that there's metric sand paper? It's true I'm not joking.

A couple of mine have inch markings on one side and metric on the other. I would not be surprised about metric sandpaper, although I wasn't aware a "grit" was a standard unit. I thought it was independent, like a rat's ***, or a Scoville, or a stone's throw.

 

No. We call them "Adjustable spanners". Well known as the spanner that doesn't quite fit any nut.

But you need wrenches to bolt on fenders, sail panels, hoods and trunk lids.
We need spanners to fit wings, rear valances, bonnets and boot lids.

Sandpaper is rated buy grits per sq.in. other countries using the metric system go by centimeter or milimeter or whatever.
