Hey all in hunting for a crescent wrench (10-12inch) but would prefer to find one made in America(the"crescent" brand I saw was made in China) .any help would be grateful!

I have the Clik-Stop Proto's in 6, 8, 10, 12, and 15". Naturally, I love them. They are made by Western Forge and you can actually get the same wrench (minus the Clik-Stop feature) from a number of other brands including SK and Craftsman. The Clik-Stop feature is exclusive to the Proto line, but the standard wrenches are sold under at least 10 different brands.

 

Here's the Clik-Stop review:

also not sure if your set on USA or just trying to avoid china..    Irega makes some bitchin adjustable wrenches, thats actually the only thing they make..    they are made in Spain  

ive gotten a few of the smaller ones off chadstoolbox.com and am very happy with them although i have never used anything like the protos or other high end US offerings

Crescent is one of those brands that has become to mean something other then what it is. Say Crescent and people think adjustable wrench, not the brand. Like "Kleneex" which people associate as Tissue not a brand. You know you have made it when that happens.

Crescent is another formerly decent brand ruined at the hands of Apex.

The Spanish Irega wrenches are excellent wrenches. Probably better overall than the domestic offerings these days
