1 3/16 wrench

[Big Fat Herb]

How many of you have an 1-3/16 "combination end wrench ? How often have you used it ? Thanks Jim

 

[AScheele]

I have one, a snap on. It fits some import vehicles inner tie rods. cant remember what vehicle right now. But, to answer your other question, i use it very rarely.

 

[guido]

Hello,

Not very often. It will fit the return turbo oil line on a Cummins diesel. I guess is still in my box. Also a crows foot version 3/8 drive should be in the box! Have not used it for a few years.......

I used the do maintence. Used it in on some of the old mixer for the bread dough. Try to find a 1 15/16 wrench and socket.

 

[JDemaris]

I've got several of them. Some marked 1 3/16" and some metric marked as 30 mm. Also got some 3/4" drive sockets the same size. Also got some Snap On off-set double open-ended 1 3/16" wrenches.

I've had to use them now and then. Mostly on big oil-pan drain hex-nut. Or the fill plug on a common Dana 208 or 241 transfercase in a Ford,Dodge or GM truck. Also a big nut on a crawler final drive I was working on recently. Some I bought intentionally years back and some I got later in large sets. Last large set of wrenches I got from India had all kinds of uncommon sizes. 17/32, 19/32, 21/32, 1 3/16, etc.

 

[Russ from MN]

I have one, but it says 30mm on it, used to use it a lot working on metric equipment.

 

[boler76]

I have and if I only had to use it once it was worth having

 

[Brad Buchanan]

I have a snap-on and use it a couple times a year

Oddly enough I bought a lot at an auction liquidating a Canadian furniture manufacturer and on the skid were 2 30mm/1 3/16 wrenches which were open end on one end and a rounded handle on the other. Clearly stamped 'Williams made in USA'.

I used TWO 1 1/4 wrenches yesterday on hydraulic fittings - no 3/16.

I have a huge socket set (up to 4 inch) and have only used it once. I'll never get the return on that investment.

 

[akelly]

I have one SK and one Armstrong that I keep in different service trucks to tighten 3/4" Cu x Female thread fittings on water heaters.

 

[gmccool]

I have a Snap On.

 

[old]

I have 1-1/16 and 1-1/8 and 1-1/14 and 1-5/16 but not a 1-3/16 that I know of. But I probably have that in a socket

 

[Anonymous-0]

When I worked at a Deere dealer from 96-99 I used my 30mm quite a bit. Mostly the socket as the wheels on combines and tractors used that size alot. I got by with my 30mm wrench I had, but last year I bit the bullet and bought 1 3/16's to fill my snapon sets(ebay). The check plug on the transfer case of my 84 chevy uses 1 3/16. So I use mine a few times of the year. chris

use one on Lexion combines. Jim

 

[Bob]

I have one because the size of the fill and drain plugs in New Process transfer cases used in GOAT and Gobmint Motors pickups for quite a few years was 1-3/16".

If you want to make things REALLY interesting, can someone tell use what the 19/32" combination wrench included in wrench sets for MANY years actually fits????

 

[the tractor vet]

I do i have two for a matter of fact , One is the long combo Mac and the other is a Mac Long combo socket head and have the scokets to back up with.

 

[the tractor vet]

Well the connecting rod bolts on a Ford 428 C.J is 19/32nds.

 

[Dave Sherburne, NY]

I have one that I bought at an auction along with a lot of other big wrenches, I also have the oddball sockets like JD has 17/32, 19/32, 21/32. Although I keep a very neat shop, I don't keep any records of where or when I use individual wrenches, but if I need them, I've got them.

 

[TimV]

Well, back in the day, when there were both "regular" and "heavy" hex nuts in common use, 19/32 would fit a 5/16 heavy nut. Also works for 15 mm in a pinch. I've got several of them, but all are in open-end wrenches.

 

[RodinNS]

Never seen one or do I have a need for one. Anything I have that would require something of that approximate size is metric... so I use that. Works fine here.

[M-MAN]

The 11/32, 19/32 and 25/32 (heavy nuts) were used extensively on old textile machinery decades ago. The 11/32 is the only one that I know of that crossed over to vehicles and tractors and they used it until recently. I have them all in sockets, offset box end, combination, and open end that are pretty worn from my early years.

 

[Pops1532]

I've got an SK 1 3/16 combination wrench. I've used it, but can't say for certain what I've used it on.

 

[Dalex]

I picked up a couple of them , I needed them for Hyd. lines on modern Case Backhoes . I bought a Snap -On and a Wright

 

[Bob Bancroft]

Don't think I ever had that as an end wrench. I had a Snap On socket that size that came in a set. Years ago traded it off with the dealer as I never used it. I still remember how much he whined over that. I'm thinking that was about 40 years ago.
Now I have a 30MM socket and end wrench!

 

[ss55]

A 50mm wrench might work in place of a 1 15/16 wrench (49.2mm). It would be about 1/32 inch larger.

Sometimes it's simpler to machine 1/16 inch from one side of a less expensive next smaller size open end wrench, than to buy an oddball size wrench.

 

[Ted in NE-OH]

I"ve got one, can"t remember if I have used it. It is a China one from HF. There is no way I can put enough force on it to break it.

 

[GarrettFields]

Got two of them in my company truck, and I use them at least once a week. Now I have a question for you. Why are you so curious about the size of my wrench, and how often I use it?

 

[T.R.K.]

the 1-3/16" (30 mm) wrench fits the transfer case in my 1991 and 1988 chevy trucks. It also fits the check valve in a 60 gallon Ingersoll Rand air compressor. Had a call for one twice the same week. So I thought I would invest in one.

You can"t get a Craftsman 1-3/16 from Sears (Not anymore, at least. I tried.) So I ended up with a new set of large metric wrenches.

1-3/16 is about .006 larger than 30 mm.

 

[Tony in SD]

I have one. Don t use it too much. Actually don't remember using it.

 

[Donald Lehman]

Yup got one. Got combo wrenchs and sockets up to 2 inch. Have metric sockets up 34 mm. Don't use them very often but when you need one that big, you really NEED the darn thing. Used to work on a lot of dirt bikes. Rear axle nuts on a lot of those bikes ran from 30-32mm. If you look hard enough i've got about every brand name ever stamped on a wrench. Snap-On, Mac, Craftsman, Wizzard (Montgomery Ward) Husky (Agway), Still using late 1940's vintage SK tools my father bought. Even got some old K-Mart tools from back when they sold a pile of tools in the area. Somewhere around here I have a couple of the wrenchs that came with my grandfathers Fordson tractor.

Pretty hard to change the fuel filter on a Dodge/Cummins without one.
