Large sizes of spanners & sockets
I often do work on my boat & trailer - both are American, and
therefore all nuts, bolts etc. are Imperial Unified threads. I have socket sets that go up to 1" AF and several spanner sets that go up to 7/8" ........... however this does not often cover what is needed. For example today I needed 1+1/16" AF (for a 3/4" UNC nut) Anybody aware of somewhere that sells spanner sets that cover next range of sizes ... i.e above 7/8" maybe sizes 15/16" to 1 +1/4" Same for sockets. Getting larger range of metric spanners was easy ... have a set that goes from 4 - 32mm, it's AF seems the problem. I know I can buy individual sockets & spanners .... but they are expensive (1 + 1/6" cost me £12 ) |
