A Ford wrench is a monkey wrench that Ford had built with their name on it.
The only difference between a Ford wrench and a monkey wrench is that the Ford wrench came in the tool kit of a new Ford car. That was back in the day when people who drove a car had reasonable expectations of needing to work on it. Baling wire, pliers, nail file, bubble gum, etc. all considered as normal as hooks in a tackle box.

Yeah, Baling wire, still a constant in most man caves.

To add to the confusion

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_wrench

The biggest pipe wrench I've used is a sixty inch. Usually two of us went to get it and anywhere from three to six were involved in using it. A cheater pipe was almost always involved, leaving two to lift and position it and one to make sure that the jaw was set, then join the club on the cheater. I watched four guys fight a left hand thread for about a half hour, then went and told them... they ALL knew that all threads above the rotating table are left hand,, but they weren't thinking..

Of course if the project is not being held, then you gotta have a backup, and then IT has to have a cheater,or the torque will just lift what you are working on.

These are handy but don't take the abuse of the oilfield well.

Reply #51 - 07/18/15 at 12:25:15 Pipe wrenches have pivoting bottom jaws, that tighten as you apply pressure and loosen when you release... so that you can ratchet the pipe in one direction. Grip, slip, grip, slip... so cool... ...

Reply #52 - 07/18/15 at 12:42:53 Right up till IT slips while you're in full on Grip now, sucka mode. Jumping on a cheater pipe can allow enough pressure off the jaw to allow the spring to open the wrench... it can get ugly... I can't count the bent and broken thirty six and forty eight pipe wrenches I've seen.

I always say "pipe wrench" but assumed a "monkey wrench" was the same thing. It's kind of like a claw hammer and a ball peen hammer. It's the same tool essentially but each has a slightly different purpose.

Ball peen hammers are tempered differently from claw hammers: using a claw hammer to beat on hard metal tools or parts, like you do a ball peen, can lead to chipping of the hammer's striking surface, which is potentially dangerous
Claw hammers are tempered 'hard' to beat on relatively 'soft' nails
Bell peens are tempered 'soft' to beat on hardened tools
know your tools, use the right one for the job

Before I knew better and before I had a good tool collection I was changing a U joint and to get it out I was using two hammers. The small end of one ball pein and I think the other was also. I thought I heard things hitting the ground, but I had no idea that slamming hammer faces together could cause a problem. Finally a piece hit just right on the thumb knuckle.. in it went, way past needle and tweezers. Went to get it X rayed and the Dr. said it's too close to the nerve, gotta leave it.. after a few years it migrated to between the knuckles. I bumped into the exhaust manifold with the bump it made. Went back, New X rays, Doc cut it out..
Never strike hammers. And chrome sockets are harder than impact sockets and will break, sometimes. You return a Craftsman socket that shows an impact has been on it, and the square drive will show it, and the warranty is gone.

When I looked at the hammer there were pieces missing all around the face..
Young, inexperienced, inadequate tool collection, if I woulda had a fat punch I woulda been okay... Back then I probably could have had what I needed for under five bucks... but who had five bucks?

You can't turn pipe with a monkey wrench,pipe wrenches mess nuts and bolts UP,,and a ball pein is not too good for pulling nails.
Finger mashing is easily accomplished with any of the above.
I have four ball pein s of various sizes, a claw hammer in arms reach of both work benches and a collection of other kinds and sizes of hammers.. total around thirteen, counting the fat rubber one for hubcaps.
