I saw this Wright adjustable wrench yesterday, the first Wright tool I've found. A quick Google found that Wright Tools has a plant in Barberton, Ohio, one of only three manufacturers still making wrenches and sockets in the USA.
The company was started in 1927 by tool salesman C. Nelson Wright, he quickly grew the company into a manufacturer of quality hand tools. When he retired in 1967, his son took over the business and ran it till he retired in 2007. The company is still privately owned, with about 180 employees.

The adjustable wrenches are expensive on Amazon.
