Yes, mine are old Snap-on (pre chrome plated bahcos)
If I'm working with someone that has a Bahco set out, it takes me a while to get the hang of them.

Nope, I've got the "caveman 6000" model.why / did u buy one like
No rebooting, no licensing, no waiting for internet access to use.
Depends what day of the week and what time of the day it is. Can I guess the size of smaller Torx fasteners? CIF.so your not any good at guessing the sizes then
That was a fairly angry DIY'er in the video, he hurled his poxy adjustable into the toilet pan, no doubt damaging the glaze. He should have paid a professional to do the job and avoid tantrums like that.u may laugh but here
I think I still own a Buck&Hickman "Roebuck" adjustable that is also contra normal, nicely made and possibly of Spanish origin but infuriating to use.
How low the B&D brand has sunk. I still have a functioning electric drill circa long time ago, a D303 with metal gears and a white finger inducing hammer action, speed control is electronic and quite rustic in operation, its the loaner drill but I still rate it, solid in an old school way. Off topic I know but I felt the need for a nostalgic post on seeing the former champion of bodgers everywhere be shamed so.
I can put my hand down the back of an engine & tell what size a nut is by feel alone but I struggle on socket heads & as for torx - forget it!

Metric or imperial adjustable wrench is the decision though...

One tool I have never used for its intended purpose, the only time I use an adjustable spanner is to straighten bent steel wheel rims . Way , way quicker than any other method with better results

I keep one in the caravan for changing gas cylinders over, apart from that I used one while changing a track rod end but can't think when else I've used one recently before that.

Not really workshop tools, certainly come into their own in the onsite tool bags for the machines.
