PSA: Stop using crescent wrenches on aircraft hardware. I saw a guy round off a 3/8 nut on a cowling panel yesterday.

Ngl, seeing someone use a crescent wrench on aircraft hardware makes my eye twitch every single time. Honestly, that tool is only good for emergency field repairs on plumbing or maybe your car's exhaust. Tbh, a proper socket or a good quality combination wrench costs less than the penalty for stripping a critical fastener on an airframe. And yeah, I've seen way too many guys pretend a crescent wrench is "close enough" when it never is.
