Most of us here call then "crescent wrenches". Why, I have
no idea. A similar type wrench but with the jaws at 90
degrees to the handle was called a "monkey wrench" but this
has been about 60-70 years since they were made/used.

Ford made them a normal accessory (like the jack, lug
wrench, crank) with the Model A, Model T and I think the
very early V8s. All of those cars I had came with them.
