Glad to see they're making adjustable wrenches that are metric.
I could never get the non-metric ones to adjust properly for metric bolts.
^ There's a metric measure stamped on the face so you know the size it's adjusted to. While I wouldn't use that feature often (I don't use adjustable wrenches often either) they might as well put it on all adjustable wrenches.
Find me someone who would actually use that feature, and I'll find you someone that routinely rounds-over bolts. You adjust the wrench to the bolt, not by trying to read some small markings
Does anyone know if these are right handed metric adjustable wrenches, or left handed ones?
I've been looking for a set of left handed metric adjustable wrenches for the longest time now, but have yet to find any!
That's what is handy about having markings, you can put the wrench on, tighten it down, then take it off and have a reading of what size socket or non-adj wrench to use instead so you are LESS likely to round off nuts 'n bolts. If you're really good at guessing it won't save time trying different sizes but if you aren't, it might... and it doesn't hurt that it's still a normal adj. wrench too instead of a caliper... though a caliper is far more versatile for measuring.
The point is, there's no reason NOT to have this feature on an adj. wrench unless you find something else a better value from HQ or low price... unless you're constantly working on something greasy then it's just a few more places gunk gets stuck but cleaning an adjustable wrench is already such a PITA that it's easier to just soak one in gasoline for a minute to get heavy grease off.
Sorry, but I'm not going to use an adjustable wrench to measure the size of a bolt - I'm using an adjustable wrench to quickly tighten/loosen something because I either don't have a non-adj wrench handy, or I really don't care (maybe it's a square nut). I can try 3-4 non-adj wrenches in the time it would take me to size-up the adj, then read the markings, then get the non-adj wrench.
