yes, i too searched for wrenches (in my capacity as a hole watcher) and came up with many wrong wrenches. Wrench enthusiasts will probably correct us both here.

Channel locks are cool because they are faster to adjust than a crescent wrench. Also you can kind of open them up a bit and slide around the nut whereas with a crescent you have to pull the wrench off the nut and getting it back on can be difficult--however, you don't have to squeeze a crescent wrench...so you can probably exert more torque.
