New universal wrench 🤣

[DUCKMAN11]

In my part of Texas we call them an "Oklahoma socket set". My grandfather called them a "fit-all". I call it Cresent wrench or a cresaunt if I'm feeling fancy

I'm curious to know what people from different areas call this wrench. I know that the usual name in my area is that it is called a Crescent Wrench.
I have heard them called an All-Sixteenths and a thumb wrench though.
I am talking about the regular wrench with one side.

Cresent is a name brand, so it's more like an adjustable wrench. But yes I know it better as a cresent also regardless of the manufacturer.

Is that like calling Target, Targ'a? Or however you would spell it with a French pronunciation?

It's called a Shifter in Australia.
Unofficially referred to as a Nut F'er as Predator 22 mentioned.

I don't "parlais vous francais" but I don't think the fancy french pronunciation would "open" the trialing "et" in target. I believe they would "close" it with a pronounced clicking of the "t"

As in if you broke the transfer case shifter handle off in your truck you would weld this on in a pinch?

I call it a Crescent or adjustable. They work great on square nuts better than other nuts .

Not quite, we call thata gearstick, but not saying it wouldn't work!

"Shifter" is short for shifting wrench I believe, but everyone just calls it a Shifter.
