DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES COMPLETELY WITHIN MY CONTROL YOU SHOULD GET YOUR OWN TEE SHIRT AND A SHARPIE MARKER BY NOON TOMORROW OR SIMPLY CALL SOMEONE WHO GIVES A SHIRT.

I just got some frames and   it seems a large cresent wrench is working great. Is there an advantage to an 80 dollar wrench?

The only thing I've heard is the Magnesium wrench is softer material and no supposed to wear-down or leave scratch marks on the roller nuts.  Also using the "big" Magnesium wrench does provide a bit more "cheater" leverage as that sucker is looooonnngggg. 

Having said that, I've recently made a DIY stretching table, along the lines of Northland's, and use 3 crescent wrenches.

It's made specific to fit the roller frame.
The wrench has a wide head to fit the entire tube end with MZX and M3 wrench ends. The length of the wrench is for leverage and it's made from Mag so it's lightweight.
