Wrench question

Dec 08, 2005 13 Replies

Just seeing if you guys and gals can help me. My brother-in-law wants for Christmas wrenches. He wants Craftsman 1, 1 1/16, 1 1/8 inch 6 point combo wrenches. I have 1 inch 6 point but have never seen anything bigger in 6 point. At work we have up to 3 inch wrenches and all are 12 point. Does anyone know if they there is such a thing? I've checked Craftsman's and Snap-on's websites but they don't show any. I've found stricker wrenches in those sizes but not combo wrenches. If you know of any please let me know. Thanks, Brent


The largest Craftsman 6-pt combination wrench is 1". The larger ones are

12-pt.

Forget those, go find him a left handed Crescent wrench, much more handy ..

Get the 12 points, get a nut for each size coated in grease, put the nut in the wrench and fill the voids with plaster, remove nut and paint silver...he'll never know!

Or just bore out the heads to a true circle. Those come in really handy to remove nuts that have already been rounded off.

Check with the tool trucks like Snap-on for the larger sizes.

I want a WHOLE set of those!

Buy a set of Crapsmans, used them a bit, and they'll soon be just as you want. But, hey, there's a lifetime guarantee.

LJ--who gave up the 3-per-week trips to Searz (late '70s/early '80s) to replace lifetime-guaranteed Crapsman tools but never got the company to replace the busted knuckles, lost skin, missing blood, gas used, or time lost to Searz runs...
