I found a 6” adjustable wrench that was patented in the 1910’s. It was designed to pull square bolts off buggy wheels or something.
I use it all the time, but I’ve never seen a square bolt anywhere near the size it’s designed for.
I have all sorts of other well-designed products that don’t rely on complex ecosystems. Most are older than me, sadly.
