Would you take your BMW here?
A mechanic using a crescent adjustable wrench? Don't think I would take my car there. Crescent wrench is used to assemble Walmart bicycles.

There's a hidden statement that they can fix BMW even with bare hands.That much knowledge they've got.
Sometimes I had to use those wrenches due to local "specialists" using SAE bolts and nuts and me not willing to spend any extra on SAE kits just for removing those. Quote:

I see no reason to not use a crescent wrench if you have the space available for it. My crescent wrench is larger than some of my metric wrenches so I use it when I need more leverage to crank on a nut.

Crescent wrenches are for plumbing fixtures.
When I was being trained, they were called "fits-all-fits-nothing" and their use on a vehicle was a cause for derision. We did use them on the shop waste oil drain system. And if you hold them at the end they make an equally good hammer as wrench.

If I ever saw a tech approach one of my vehicles with an adjustable wrench I would have to take it from him and use it to beat him over the head with it.
In over 20 yrs of DIYing my own and friends vehicles I have yet to use one. This is an excellent example of the "world of mediocrity" in my sig.
