1 3/16 socket

[lardy1]

I only own one because I saw an old SK Wayne 1 3/16" 12 point socket at a flea market for cheap so I bought it knowing I would likely never use it for anything outside of satisfying my obsession.
well.....today we were changing the compensator on her Harley Tri-Glide and lo and behold.....the nut holding the clutch basket assembly in place is 1 3/16".

Three dollars well spent.

1-3/16" is very close to 30mm but that didnt stop me from buying a 1-3/16" socket. Only time I found a real 1-3/16" nut was restoring an old bench vise where the swivel nut was that side verified with a caliper.

That's why I always tell my girlfriend, just because I don't need it now, doesn't mean I won't need it someday.

As was said here many times before, "I'd rather have a tool that I don't need than need a tool I don't have..."

Got to love it! It's always a good idea to get a quality tool if priced right!
Post a picture!

1 3/16? I have seen a few things that need that. Crank pulley on my vw bug, also the inner paralever bolt on a bmw K1200rs I used to have.

Oh wait, they are all 30mm, a size that is included every impact set I ever bought.

1 3/16 is extremely common on Cat and I’ve heard of it on Deere stuff. I had to buy all of my sockets and wrenches for that size separate as it’s not in the “common” size range of sets (at least SAE wise) and my metric sets didn’t have it either in it’s 30mm version.

A fair amount of axle nuts are 30mm. Fords if I recall correctly.

I own two both are SnapOn 1/2 D shallow and deep impact sockets for cab mounts on a old FMTV and LMTV

 

[Shelbylex]

This might help - I asked about the use of two sizes: 1 1/16 and 1 3/16 previously

Being a HD tech for the last 27 years mine has seen some use

I have it in Snap-On, used it on Pontiac dampeners.

Indeed! However, don't you love it when you unexpectedly need tool, which you have on hand, and you thought you would never use?

 

[southalabama]

I’ll pick up large stuff when I see it on a deal because I “might” need it one day. Glad that day came from you.

There are no good tool stores locally so the middle of a project at night or a weekend isn’t the time to figure out you need a socket you don’t have.

Dang, thought I was part of the club, skip from 1-1/8 1/2 driveto 1-1/2 3/4 drive (bought for water heater element)

 

[Kscardsfan]

I have a 31/32 socket for the simple reason I might need it someday and it came in a box lot of tools I grabbed at a garage sale.

That is the only size that ever went missing from my end wrench set. I seem to be constantly using an adjustable because of it. In my current garage sale, I have six sets of end wrenches and about 50 combinations on the table. Not one single 1 3/16. Maybe I never had one.
