I have a dozen adjustable wrenches. Don't leave home without one is my thought. Well, you might need a knife and a screwdriver.

But seriously just hacking around with an lawn mower or cheap bike, if I can have 2 adjustable wrenches there and do most of the work, why not?

I do use them correctly but I've used them carelessly backwards and have never broken even a cheap one. If the nut/bolt is that tough, I'll go get a sized wrench.
