13/16 wrenches & sockets

[ironfist]

I was looking through my tools last night , and started to think about the 13/16 sockets and wrenches I have . I have a Canadian tire box that i keep them in . So the question is . Has anyone ever use 13/16 wrench or socket , because i never have . If so , what did you use for ?


Thanks

I know I have used my 13/16 wrench for fuel lines alot , and I know ive used my socket quite a ew times, Just cant remember what I used it on, usually on heavy equipment

I use 13/16" on Dehavilland Dash-8's constantly, wrenches and sockets. Someone decided when they were building them that this was going to be the size of choice I guess.

Sparkplugs and Scout lugnuts come to mind.

Most lugnuts on older vehicles are 3/4 or 13/16. Spark plugs are 5/8 or 13/16. I have used that size a lot on rail equipment. Keep them or I can dispose of them for you. What do you have? PM if you must.

Spark plugs and hydraulic lines for me.

Used one yesterday on a Jeep XJ A/C line. Pretty sure that's the first time I've used 13/16" flarenut.

Ran across some 13/16" lugs on a lateish model econobox a while back. Wasn't expecting that one

Can't remember the last time I used 13/16" spark plug sockets.

Hydrolic lines and lug nuts mostly, along with spark plugs and some misc stuff.

Only time I use my 13/16 wrench is for leaf spring bolts on chevy's.

Spark plugs on my Land Cruiser. Lug nuts on my Mercury and Estate Wagon.

Full size Ford lugnuts, spark plugs on older engines, hydraulic lines, auto suspension components, etc.

muffler bearings and blinker fluid come to mind

I have a Craftsman snow blower that uses a 13/16 spark plug.

I would say 16mm is my least used socket. 13/16 gets plenty of use.

Haha, I was just wondering the same thing today when I was looking at my pristine 13/16 sockets and wrenches.

I used a 13/16" open end wrench yesterday to adjust the drive belt tension nut on a 1952 Delta heavy duty shaper.

I've only a 5/8 spark plug , and a 3/4 lug nut , and i never work on hydro lines . That's why i've never used a 13 / 16 . Thanks everyone

Don't thow your 13/16" sockets and wrenches away just yet. This is still considered a standard size in SAE tools. And, 13/16" is still a common size in spark plugs, lug nuts, line fittings, and chassis/suspension bolts, especially if you work on older full size american cars and trucks, tractors and equipment, or smaller equipment like mowers, snow blowers, tree grinders, water pumps, compressors, or shredders. The American roads are littered with 13/16 nuts and bolts.

The sump drain plug on a '70 Triumph motorcycle, 650 cc, is 13/16"

I used them on transmission mounting bolts and stud nuts on Medium duty trucks , Fords and IH's , as well as spark plugs...

used a 13/16 for the spark plugs on our old toyota forklift yesterday.
