Just because I've always considered my large crescent wrench a hammer
doesn't make it so. Some people seem to get an awful lot more out of it
than I do. I'm not sure that is a good reason for inventing or adopting a
new style of adjustable wrench (ie., so that I can use it properly).

And it works pretty good as a hammer, too.
