Tractor supply crescent

My big tractor supply crescent wrench really surprised me I was changing a hydraulic hose and my open end wrench wouldn’t hold it so I put my 24 inch wrench on it and it had enough strength and rigidly to the jaws to unscrew the rounded fitting right out of the hydraulic tip

I have a 24" crescent brand. It has saved me some grief a few times. Yard sale find for $10. Still had the tags on it.
 
You were lucky, I usually end up with a pipe wrench to get them apart. I was once young and dumb and over tightened things, now I can't get them apart!!!
 

I've got a couple of their foot long channel locks for around 4 or 5 bux each on sale that have come in handy for a lot of things. When you really want to get a grip on things.
 
(quoted from post at 05:29:09 02/04/21) a lot of people use a crescent wrong....

That's true. If you were tightening the object shown in the wrenches jaws, that would be correct. If you were trying to loosen it, that would be wrong. You always want the most pressure going against the stable jaw.
 
I was told about a business owner working with his hired hand. The owner was using a crescent as a hammer. He broke the crescent wrench. The hired hand then asked "Do you want me to go get you a bigger crescent wrench?"
 
Like the opening video for Modern Marvels TV show.

And they probably paid a film crew and director several days and hundreds of takes, and that was the best they could come up with!
 
I have had an 18" Proto for more than 40 years. It has had 4 ft. cheater pipes used on it many times, and been smacked with a 3 lb hammer a few times, but the jaws are still tight. I also have a few from 8"-12", the only trouble I have had with them, is growing legs and walking to other peoples tool boxes!!
 
I took the picture after the fact because I want to post it . So
yes the picture is wrong but I did it right
 
My snap on 18 inch walked off my 6 and 8 inch snap on. With the serrated jaws both walked off those you could clamp down tight on a piece of pipe
 
I use go to put hydraulic tips on so tight I couldn’t ever get them apart without an 18 inch pipe wrench
 
That would be right way for the wrench with the end screwed on the clockwise will unscrew it looking down from the top
 
How do eaqualize the oxygen from the large bottle? I could not get the hose to connect them together.

I picked up this Jobsmart 10'' at TSC before Christmas. It has the locking handle to get the jaws real tight. Has been quite handy, though nothing to compare with a 24'' wrench!
