So you need something that's adjustable and can be many sizes. Many people don't like crescent wrenches for the simple fact that they can round off nut and bolt heads and leave them almost to the point where you can't remove them without vice grips. This video will show you the correct way to use a crescent wrench without damaging nut and bolt heads.

Amazing how many people either don't know this or don't believe it. And so far I haven't found anyone who knows why it's better to use a crescent wrench in the correct direction. I don't see why these people can't tell the deference by simply trying the damm things both ways. You can literally see them rounding off the nut when used the wrong way. If you look at the angle of the handle it appears to be pulling the wrench off the nut when used the wrong way.

I hate that style of a wrench ...can't use them in tight places due to the head size...

Improper way to hold a wrench. You should hold it further back for more leverage.

First step is to call it by its actual name, Adjustable end wrench. "Crescent" is a brand name like "Band-aid" brand bandages.
