Adjustable wrenches come in two styles, locking and non-locking. Non-locking style features an adjustable end opening with little provision made for slippage. The locking style also has an adjustable head, but uses a locking mechanism to secure jaws in desired position, eliminating the need for constant readjustment. When properly adjusted to nut or bolt, it will not slip. 6, record 1, English, - adjustable%20wrench
