31/32 socket?

[Exceller8]

I'm happy with what I've got, but I'll keep looking for any 32nd sockets that I come across.

Outlaw - thanks! I haven't used that one yet... still fairly new at the Ebay thing.
As I recall, that 57/64" was part of a deep-well set, right?

 

[Outlawmws]

yup!

Forgetting 13/32

I have all three of those Craftsman sockets (some in duplicate). They're handy to have. Again, it just depends on what you work on. I remember when I started restoring and using old machinery, and came across a 25/32" nut. I didn't have a socket or a wrench in that size so I made do with a 20mm wrench. After that, I scrounged around and started buying tools sized on 32nd increments. I do occasionally use them (25/32" mostly and 19/32" now and then). If you tinker with enough old USA made cars, machines, etc., you're eventually going to run into larger 32nd sized fasteners......so "ha" yourself.

We see these sizes on quite a few of the Hit & Miss Engines, usually the 19/32, 21/32 & 25/32nds

11/32 is standard for #8 machine screw nuts. It isn't in most sets of wrenches, nor in most socket sets, except they show up (along with other oddball sizes, like 8-point sockets) in cheap oriental socket sets. I've become used to having to buy 11/32 wrenches and sockets to fill out my "complete" sets!

This. My (now old circa 2006) SK reversible ratcheting wrench set came with 11/32" as part of the set.

As mentioned, if you do any electrical work/ground screws/running strain reliefs and cords, you'll want 11/32.

31/32" and 29/32" are old shower valve sizes. Need an extra deep. Usually you just buy one of these cheap things: http://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-29-32-in-x-31-32-in-Shower-Valve-Socket-Wrench-63752/204277508

I have 9/32, 11/32, 15/32 (3/8 dr), 19/32, 21/32, 25/32, and 31/32 (1/2 dr) sockets, what am I missing?

I found a 29/32 at the swap meet today.
