Default 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 )
