Well, actually, a Cresent wrench is an adjustable wrench which was
originally made by the Cresent Tool Company of Jamestown, NY.
The term "cresent wrench" is to wrenches what "Xerox" is to copiers or
"kleenex" is to tissues.
While some people call all wrenches spanners, I think of a particular
type of wrennch when I hear the term spanner. One example is the tool
used to tighten or loosen the ring that holds filter glass to the
housing or the type of wrench used by people that open today's battery
operated wrist watches when replacing the power cell.....
That's my $0.02 worth.....
