I've had several arsy boo adjustable "Crescents" over the years, briefly, some of them very good quality. They just feel wrong, especially in awkward positions where you can't see properly, they all ended up being thrown as far as I could manage.
Wee tip: Some bikes have nuts you might want to deal with on the side of the track/road that are quite big. You can carry all the spanners you need, but in some cases it'd be a fair few. You can modify most Crescents by fileing an extra worm groove in the moving jaw, usually some of the extra groove is there anyway. This can mean, say, that a 6" Crescent can open an extra turn and sometimes means you might not need to carry an 8".
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
