Bet you 90% of people toss wrenches without even checking the calibration first.

Most folks just see a stuck wrench and think it's done for, not that it just needs a good cleaning.

Yeah I had a 1/2 inch Craftsman that wouldn't budge and I was about to give up on it. Sprayed some PB Blaster down the adjustment screw and let it sit overnight, worked like new the next morning. Sometimes the simplest fix is all it takes.

@david_jones38 did you try the PB Blaster trick or just a dry rag first?
