A crescent wrench is very handy to have when you are working in a confined space or other places you cannot haul a whole toolbox into. -I have 4 different and use them for things I've never worked on before, with unknown bolt sizes. They are very handy, but not to be used on 'torqued' bolt heads in case you 'round' the edges of the bolt (unfortunately a very common error for amateurs)
