Is there a particular wrench that you've had good experiences with? Amazon has three versions, in order of price (CAD):
Max Power @ $29
Rigid Tools @ $58
Milwaukee Tool @ $58
All seem to be rated about the same...
...far and away the best adjustable wrenches for headset lock nut is made and sold by Channellock.
They come in 6", 8", and 10" and 12" versions. I've had pretty good luck using either the 6" or the 8" (refers to overall wrench length.)
They are a little pricey, even on Amazon. But they work much better (less slop, thinner jaws, closer tolerances) than any of the others I've tried.
