In Canada and the United States, this type is often known as a Crescent wrench owing to widespread genericization of the brand name of the company that held the original 1915 U.S. patent for this type (U.S. patent 1133236A), the Crescent Tool Company. (The Crescent brand is now owned by the Apex Tool Group). (English)
