Have to be in order to account for tolerances. So they never grab cleanly which will wear the nut over time and also ding it. Some people are very particular about the appearance of their ride for whatever reason. What helps against cosmetic nut damage is to stick Kapton tape on the wrench insides or the nut. I place it onto the wrenches because then I can use it over and over again. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Adjustable tools doesn't offer a tighter grip. Even if it could in theory just feel the part that is adjustable - you can almost always ruck it back and forth, just a bit but nonetheless. Also the adjustable wrench is often used in a careless manner. People don't adjust it to perfection before they pull! No, fixed keys are the best and in particular the ring side (closed end) of the combination spanner as that pulls on all sides of a hex bolt or nut. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Cheers Actually wrenches and nuts and bolts aren't designed so that the wrench is a press fit onto the fastener since that would mean that in order to fit the wrench to the fastener it would have to be in perfect alignment. Hardly practical in a working environment. Nor is some mythical "perfect fit" necessary as fasteners are designed to be tightened or loosened using conventional tools and the size of the hexagon head or nut provides sufficient flat length to avoid the wrench slipping and rounding the corners. In fact, using conventional wrenches it is quite easy to actually break the shank of a fastener without damaging the head at all. But then, to one who habitually uses a nail and a rock as a chain tool the use of proper tools is probably a mystery. -- Cheers, John B. |

Yes, but that sliver is much smaller than with a regular sized fixed wrench. Perhaps the size of the nut is of importance here. For example, with adjustable wrenches when you pull a small item it sometimes happens that item gets tilted and stuck in the wrench. This never happened to me with the fixed sizes. But it is logical that adjustable wrenches pull tighter so at some level of quality and carefull work they should surpass anything fixed... In practice, on a typical bike. Say 8 and 10 mm for details. 13 for the saddle and 14 or 15 for the dome nuts. If you leave any normal person with this bike and fixed keys the work will be many times as good and much faster. Remember, it is not just pulling, it is also HOLDING while pulling at the same time. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Then you seriously need a better quality adjustable wrench. Or not use it.

Remember, it is not just pulling, it is also HOLDING while pulling at the same time. For those I'd never use adjustable. I did a mod to the MTB yesterday and everything was less than the equivalent of about 14mm. When it comes to very recalcitrant bottom brackets that have been in there for years or decades that quickly becomes another story. There a high-quality adjustable wrench set very snugly can win the day. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

The alternative would have been the skull cracking and brain flesh bouncing inside the distorted cranium. Some people don't get the message to wear a helmet til they're thanking G-d that the still have a coherent brain as the blood drips down the side of their head til the emergency room stitches them up. A close biking friend in SF was helmetless forever. Not an issue I brought up to her, not open for discussion. Recently, her helmetless head encountered a hard impact with the roadway, the kind that sometimes does end up fatal. I hope to see her with a helmet next time we meet up. I would be dead twice because the two helmet crackers I had would have both likely been fatal if I didn't have a helmet on. |
