"Is there good and bad adjustable wrench?"

No. They're all bad. Try a Knipex Pliers Wrench and never look back

I don't think I have ever used it. I found it in the road in front of my house. It will be useful to lend out, I guess.

If the question is Harbor Freight, then the answer is no.

I have several in my tool box. The SnapOn and Proto seem to be the tightest fitting with no slop in the mechanism. The SK comes in second.

Agreed, Diamond made some really nice tools.
True, but those are Cooper-era Diamonds from the late 1990s, not the old Diamond Tool & Horseshoe Co. (or older still Diamond Calk Horseshoe Co.) product...

And those MACs are very likely New Britain-manufactured. Very nice indeed!
