[TheRedBaron1]

Hey I stumbled upon this photo on the genius tools facebook page after liking it for their tool giveaway, they just posted up this photo of a 150mm Socket.....

So I got to wondering, what is you guy's biggest tool? I have nothing as large as this monster but im curious what else you guys have, and pics if you have them.

48" pipe wrench is my biggest

 

[greasemonkey44]

just bought a 40" 3/4"drive ratchet, hit some bolts on a nissan that didnt want to come willingly so i thought id arm up before it happens again

 

[bursty]

2 1/4" wrench is the biggest I use on a semi often basis. Also use 55mm wrenches all the time

Not sure of the biggest I actually own though, but those are just ones that get used often.

[adamsredlines]

Probably my railroad spike puller....its a beast.

 

[Butters]

Hmmmmmm, let's see.

My biggest tool:

- is in my pants
- is my Hard On FL69
- is in my drawers
- gets bigger when a puller is applied
- is always oiled up and ready to use

Sorry guys, just trying to get them all out of the way.

My biggest is I guess my 2 foot Ridgid adjustable wrench. Not so gigantic. Oh well, thought this might be of interest:

[osborn.ozzy]

36 inch pipe wrench

 

[Greatbear]

Since the last few weeks it seems the biggest tool around GJ is some dude called "I can fix anything."

 

[Burgerkong]

I was going to say myself...

 

[NUTTSGT]

What size drive is that 150mm socket ?

 

[Tunger]

It's probably 2-1/2", but could be 3-12" drive.

 

[ruquik]

What size drive is that 150mm socket ?

That part number is for 1-1/2 drive, but you can get it in 3-1/2"

roughly $1600 socket, but then again you are dropping $60k on the impact wrench.

 

[jetmech09]

2 1/2" socket for axle nuts on airplanes.

 

[yogitech]

My OTC 1127 bearing splitter!

 

[clark_nicholas]

Ok what in the world would you need a 150mm socket for and how much would it cost.

 

[Ratchet.]

Ok what in the world would you need a 150mm socket for and how much would it cost.

industrial applications, stuff on oil rigs, boats and large machinery etc

and probably into the $1000's id guess, there was a thread a while back about a snap on one that was similar sized, was around $4k if i remember right....

 

[Murphy4570]

Biggest I have is a 1 1/2" Snap On 5/8 drive socket made in the early 1920's. Don't really have much "big" stuff, as I only buy tools that I will use.

 

[ActAppalled]

Not really a "tool", but we have a few of these at work that I get to play with every once in a while. http://www.taylorbigred.com/TN520S-Narrow-Aisle-Forklift.html

As far as hand tools, I use a 48" pipe wrench on a fairly regular basis.

 

[countryroad82]

2 1/2 KD combo wrench I think is the biggest I own. Had to buy it during my diesel mechanicin' days.

 

[BlindViper]

My biggest socket is 3".

 

[cotjocky]

My biggest socket is 46mm and is 3/4 drive. I have a 40" 3/4 drive breaker bar to use with it. My largest wrench is 36mm in metric and 1 1/2 in SAE. I don't run into big stuff much.

 

[TheRedBaron1]

The Drive is 3 1/2"

 

[crewchief888]

My OTC 1127 bearing splitter!

2 3/4" 3/4" dr socket
40" 3/4" dr ratchet/breaker bar handle
2 1/4" comb wrench
16lb sledgehammer

Snap-On L943 2-15/16" socket date coded 1947 in 1" drive. Cost me $20 from the Snap On truck used tool bin (totally worth it) I put my keys and stuff in it on the dresser.

I was just looking around CollectingSnapon.com earlier today and thought it would be cool to find one of the 1" or larger drive sockets to have. That thing is a beast and i like the idea of using it as a valet for your keys and pocket items.

The website didn't even have pictures of the older ones so that might be a fairly rare find if its as old as you say it is.

My biggest tool is Obummer

If you look just to the right of the Snap-On logo you can see the number 7 shaped like a question mark, according to the date chart it's a 1947 model. I can't tell that it's ever been used. It sat in the used/odd tool bin on my dealers truck for weeks till I talked him out of it. It is a beast and feels like a brick.

Biggest I have is 46mm 3/4 drive for axle nuts on BMWs

By the way, is that 6 point or 12 point? German cars always throw me curves.

No kidding. I wish i could give that tool away but i'm afraid nobody would want him.
