What is another term commonly used for an adjustable wrench?

Cordless Wrench
Crescent Wrench
Torque Wrench
Pliers Wrench

The correct answer is: Crescent Wrench

An adjustable wrench is commonly referred to as a crescent wrench, which is a name derived from the Crescent Tool Company, the maker of this type of wrench. The crescent wrench features a movable jaw that allows the user to grasp and tighten fasteners of different sizes, making it a versatile tool in both professional and DIY settings. Its design provides the flexibility to work with various nut and bolt sizes without needing a full set of standard wrenches, thus enhancing its practicality in a wide range of applications. The other terms listed refer to different tools. A cordless wrench typically refers to a power tool that is battery-operated, used for driving screws or tightening bolts, but does not have the adjustable features of a crescent wrench. A torque wrench is specifically designed to apply a specific torque to a fastener, while a pliers wrench, although adjustable, is more suited for gripping and twisting rather than the specific use of loosening or tightening hex-shaped fasteners.
