This is only peripherally relevant but after inventorying the 2 adjustable
wrenches (Crescent Wrenches, Adjustable Spanners) I already had plus the 4
more just bought from Harbor Freight...

The number on the side of the wrench which indicates length in inches also
indicates how far the wrench opens in eighths of an inch. Thus a 12 inch
wrench opens 12/8 of an inch, or 1.5 inches. Proved true of all my wrenches.
