Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fixed jaw is designed to take the brunt of the force when using an adjustable wrench. This is because it is stationary and can provide a stable point of contact with the nut. Pushing with most of the force on the slide jaw or end of the handle can cause the wrench to slip or bend, making it less effective and possibly even dangerous to use.
