1-13/16 is a Proto 1258.

And Harbor Freight...

Yep, I hear what you're saying. I started off wrenching on a dirt floor in a pole shed with a small hard plastic container of 3/8 and 1/4 drive Craftsman sockets and that ****** raised panel ratchet, and a small metal toolbox full of mismatched ****** tools. Now I'm wrenching in an...

1-13/16 Proto on the way from eBay. Just need 1-15/16 and I'm done for now. Unless I start working on the striking wrenches... EDIT: 1-15/16 seems to be fairly rare. Tekton makes one, but not much available on eBay.

I haven't gotten anything black oxide; it's all chrome so far.

1-11/16 Proto on the way from eBay. Still need 1-13/16 and 1-15/16 to complete the set.

1-9/16 Tekton on the way from Amazon. Still need 1-11/16, 1-13/16, and 1-15/16. I realize these aren't likely to get a lot of use, but I'm ok with that.

@86turbodsl - checking in - anything to update?

Thanks. Now I just need to finish one or two of 'em.

Very nice Proto 1-7/16" showed up today. Does not appear to have ever turned a bolt in anger, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's never even been used as a hammer.

The saws are just the tip of the iceberg, brother.

Started up my 5 Stihl pro saws - 020 AV, 026, 036, 044, 660. Even though they all run on ethanol free fuel, they get started every 90 days. If I don't do this, they can be quite difficult to start.

Well, if that was SnapOn, you done good. If it was Harbor Freight, methinks you got screwed. Or was it something in the middle?

I recently bought Tekton metric and SAE combination wrenches for the home garage. Good bang for the buck.

I'd like to have a set of the striking wrenches, but haven't found the right deal yet.
