Knipex Improvement On The Crescent Wrench
Like any top quality tool this sucker ain't cheap at $50 but then neither is gasoline or postage to exchange lifetime garbage.

Vise Grip, Channel Lock, Allen Wrenches-there are other brand names that have become synonymous with a type of tool. When I ask my wife to hand me a tool, I usually use the name that she will associate with a type of tool. I was never politically correct and don't care that these are copyrighted names. If I asked my wife for an L-shaped metal bar with a hexagonal head at each end she would slap me up side the head for not saying Allen Wrench.
Not an 'allen' wrench either, it's a hex key. Allen was the first to produce then for the market. I call them what they are...Hex keys.
