Depends on what professional you're talking about. Professonal
mechanics, working in a shop, don't often use them. Professionals who
have to carry their tools around often do.

At one time in my life I had people paying me to fix things out in a
jungle. I used fixed wrenches. Open end, Box end, Sockets. Those sort
of thing :-)

At an even earlier period my Uncle Sam hired me to fix airplanes and
loaned me a tool box. Same thing, Open end, Box end, Sockets. :-)

:And slower with less power (yeah, the slip).
