trying to make a pipe wrench out of an adjustable commonly called a crescent wrench to me makes about as much sense as trying to use an open end wrench as a ratchet, whist is to say none at all. Thank you just the same when I need a pipe wrench that is what I will use
Never try to tell me it can't be done

Normally I'd agree, depending on pipe wrenches for pipe work. Have them from 8" to 48" and small variety of chain tongs. I'm not so enthralled by a mere convertible adjustable wrench.
This however, is quite handy. Not only a 3/8" equivalent set of pass-thru sockets, reversible two sided ratchet, common adjustable wrench of 3/4 capacity, and switches to pipe jaw. Definitely unsuited to medium size plumbing, it IS far narrower than comparable capacity pipe jaws. Crescent® of course.
Under those packaging machines; leveling screws, all thread, small air lines, general 3/8" and 1/2' bolt hardware, it made specialized tools less convenient such as deep sockets, regular wrenches, and so on. Occasionally, needed a second pipe wrench for unions or couplers.
Sincerely,
