I was waiting for a reply, when i went to replace my worn out Bahco shifter i found that they had engraved markings on the body that the sliding jaw lined up with to give you the size of the nut! One side was metric the other inches, of course they wernt accurate but you could honestly "do you want metric or imperial" if somebody wanted a borrow!

Our friends across the pond call them a 'Crescent Wrench', looked at me stupid when I asked for a shifter many years ago!
