This invaluable tool would be best utilized in the tightening or the loosening of pipe connections, although some errantly use it as a hammer, or a plumb-bob. Here in 'the Colonies', this tool is known as an adjustable end wrench, or as a Crescent wrench, or sometimes colloquially, as a left-handed monkey wrench.
