Odd size closed-end wrench set

[Vintage Veloce]

I just got an e-bike and I want to carry a lightweight toolkit with me on rides.
Strangely, all the bolts/nuts are odd sizes: 13, 15, 17 and 19mm.
I'd love to find a set of double ended closed or box wrenches... for example: one with 13mm and 15mm on opposite ends, and another with 17mm and 19mm on opposite ends.
I'm probably dreaming... but is there any chance?

The 13, 17 and 19 are standard “DIN” sizes so it’s relatively easy to find wrenches with those pairings. Most of the German manufacturers offer them. Here, Stahlwille.


The odd one out is the 15mm, which is an ANSI size, so you will need an American wrench to find that pairing. Snap On offer it. They offer 17/19 as well.

What do you need closed end wrenches for on your ebike?

 

[LXCam]

I know it’s highly unlikely since it’s got to be an overseas manufacturer. But are you sure it’s not 1/2”, 5/8”, 11/16” & 3/4”. You might check fitment just for kicks. And you might have an easier time finding what you want.

This is actually very common.

Why do I only find these in "offset" wrenches?

Does anyone use open wrenches when they can use a socket or closed end wrench?

I don't know. I didn't realize that offset wrenches weren't acceptable.

How about these:

Entirely depends on the application. What on your E bike do you need wrenches for?

They’re available in many styles, the offset style are more common than the flat style as generally they are more useful.

Stahlwille offer the flat style, probably a lot of others.

I don’t think Snap On do though.

I have been shopping for some dbe’s for my moped lately and wanted flat or minimal offset just because they fit in the limited available tool roll space better and the bolts I’d use them on don’t require an offset. I’m guessing op’s needs are similar. If so, one option similar to the capris posted above is ktc’s m160 series. They make 13 x 15 and 17 x 19.

I'd get a digital caliper and make sure of my sizes. I have and really think the Stahwille brand are good wrenches.I have the combo,doe,double off set box and the flat box.They are flat finish,light but strong.I.M.O you could build a set at a reasonable price.Hand Tools From Germany my source,and they do a great job

 

[danielbuck]

you could cut a set in half and weld them together in any combination you wanted

Thanks for all the great ideas gang! I really like those Stahlwille closed end wrenches, but the price is significant for an "backup use only" tool.
Today I stumbled on a pair of old wrenches on ebay. They look rough, but might fit the bill until something better comes along. And they were cheap, $20 for the pair so I bough them.

Those BF Japan marked wrenches will probably be well made! I have a set of similarly marked DOEs from the 80s that are dimensionally really tight and still look great.
