Crescent, not monkey.
the guys at toolmonger.com reviewed this, used it right up to the breaking point.
very good review.
I've got one. It's not the greatest. Battery life isn't that great and it's not put together all that well...
Actually, 'adjustable' not Crescent or Monkey.
Crescent is a brand of tools - Crescent
And as long as I'm here
Vice Grip is a brand of locking pliers
Channellock is a brand of tongue and groove pliers
Seemed like a stupid idea to me when I first saw it. No thanks, I'd rather not use batteries (along with the persistent waste stream issues) on a hand tool. How about the Irwin Vice-Grip quick adjusting wrench or the Crescent RapidSlide adjusting wrench. I have not used either product since my old tyme thumb wheel adjusting wrenches still work fine.
Is it any wonder that sooooo many Americans are obese?
Thumb muscles tiring... must hold on...

So what are "Dykes"??
Don't answer that.
In November Black & Decker is introducing its new VPX Interchangeable Li-Ion Battery System of power tools and home products?

Interested in receiving a few of the products to test? Email me at David.Olsen@bdk.com and I'll email you a press release.
Andrew was close... the proper name is "adjustable open end wrench" (not Crescent as was noted).
An for the question of "Dykes" ... the proper name for the tool is "diagonal cutting pliers".
Andrew is right, this is not a Crescent wrench. It is not made by Crescent(brand of Cooper Hand Tools). It is an adjustable wrench.
(just as not all photocopiers are Xerox, and not all facial tissues are Kleenex)
Crescent does make a better wrench, (as noted by another "anonymous") called the Crescent RapidSlide Adjustable wrench. (comes in 8" and 10" versions)

It doesn't take batteries, but uses an easy slide mechanism to turn the internal screw. It is also less expensive, at $15.99 at amazon.com for the 8 inch version. http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-AC8NKWMP-8-Inch-Adjustable-Wrench/dp/B000EOJUI0
Why does everything in the everyday life needs to be battery-powered? I'm not a hippy, far from it, but seriously, if you don't find any pleasure in adjusting tools when you're working on a project, maybe it's time for you to abandon activities that require you use your hands.
I don't care what it is called...I want to know how it works! My husband is a diehard hotrod guy and I thought this would be a good addition to his toolbox...am I wrong?
