If you go for a thin adjustable wrench, you might consider one Knipex pliers wrench, though they run $50. They are self-locking, so your force at turning is what is clamping them around the nut, times ten. As the image suggests, the top adjustable wrench is at least twice as heavy and is less useful.

I had come to loathe the fixed wrenches in my multitools. Also hose nuts seem inconsistent in size, so even good fixed wrenches seem less useful.

I replaced all of the open enders in my dive travel tool kit with two of the small Knipex pliers. It cut the weight of my tool kit without sacrificing functionality.

Did you get the 6in?

I carry two 5" ones in my save a dive, but I own multiple sizes in my shop. My favorites (not for scuba work) are the Cobra pliers - they are fantastic for general plier use.

Thanks, going to give them a try.
