My Crescent wrenches are universal. One side says "200mm" and the other side says "8in". I guess that's so you can remove metric nuts and tighten imperial nuts[*].

[*] Would that be "the king's"?

Amazon has 4 different brands. I could have one by Sunday if I order soon.

Want me to drop it off?

I keep them in separate tool boxes. Probably close to the smartest thing I ever did.

A "must" if you want to make the job easy and effective as possible. Not a must as "can't live with out them"...

Same, I don't fight with her about it, just try to get to the brushes before they petrify.

I got mine long before the internet. Saw a professional house painter use one and asked where he got it, then got one. With the internet, just do a search for paint spinner and you will find a bunch. That's how I got the link for Home Depot, but there were plenty of matches.

HD is $10, Purdy on Amazon is $25. I got mine before HD or the internet existed, and the only maintenance it ever needs is a spray of wd40 or Bostik Top Cote on the screw mechanism. One would think the $25 Purdy was better built, but you can never tell just by price, just an indicator. If the Purdy is as good as mine, it would last Leon several lifetimes...

Is this the one you have Jack? :~)

By the way, if anyone is repainting exterior wood, they need one of these (link below)--$9. After you've finished scraping and are sure you are done, it will remove 30% more for you. However, just as it will remove more old paint than you might expect, you will get more water on you than you might expect--just letting you know.

I'm pretty sure it won't remove move than the pressure washer.

True, but this fit the size of the project I am working on and was adequate for the job. And it was fast. : )
