The friggin' wrenches don't fit. They are in 1/8" increments, and the two sizes it turns out I need are 1 5/16 and 1 7/16. Totally useless, they are. Near as I can tell, HF doesn't sell those 16th size at all.

In a pinch you could take the next smallest & grind the faces. A 1-1/4
becomes 1-5/16 with a 1/32 off each face.


I may well do that (actually I'd convert the 1-3/8 to 1-7/16), but then you could bank on the fact that I'll need a 1-3/8 the next day. For now, I have an adjustable that just fits.
