Oversize Sockets and Wrenches - Pics Please

[carder69]

Being a complete tool addict, I have a special place for oversize tools that I rarely have the opportunity to use. The largest socket I have is the 2 3/8 Craftsman 3/4" drive. The 1 1/8" is there for scale. When the local Sears store closed I bought the 1 7/16 box wrench and is the largest one I have. I also have a Martin and Craftsman open end wrench that is 1 5/16.

I would like to see the largest sockets and wrenches others have. I am close to buying the 60" pipe wrench from Northern Tool.

60" pipe wrench--what are you workin' on

 

[carder69]

Probably hang it on the wall as "garage art"

From another thread, here are a few I inherited:

I need to figure out a way to display them in my garage.

Hmm, largest wrench in my toolbox is a 2 5/8" pump wrench. Largest combination wrench is a 2" proto. Largest socket is a 2 1/2" impact or a 4 1/8" wheelbearing socket. I'll try and remember to take pics on Monday.

There are bigger tools that belong to the shop, but the above are the ones I own.

Does that top wrench really say 14/16?

[dieseldodge01]

I think that says 1-1/16

 

[MotoDave]

Yep, you got it.

I keep all my really big wrenches on the wall hanging from some pegboard. They rarely if ever get used but as was mentioned above are kind of like garage art.

Why is it always about size?!




Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

 

[Tool Pants]

Look for the 2 little ones.

 

[snapmom]

I think this socket is like 3-1/4, a older snap on, I use it as a workbench screwdriver holder

 

[boogerboy72]

That is incredible. Looks like a 48 inch extension and a 30 inch ratchet. That is so cool!

Like you, the largest socket I have currently is 2-3/8", 3/4" drive. This is a complete set of Proto, from 7/8" to 2-3/8".

The largest combination wrench I have currently is 2", I think it's a Williams.

And I have a few 1" drive impact sockets, I had to get some after I got a screamin' deal on this big dog

 

[snapmom]

The rat is 40" and the ext is 54"

 

[chrislehr]

I got this for my Birthday this summer.

3-3/8 Williams

 

[LGMechanical]

I have em up to 5" 3/4 drive. For axle nuts on big rigs.

What I don't understand after all these years, and having USED some big wrenches like that, is why they make a 3-3/8" wrench with only a 24" handle. We used to have to hook the box of another wrench over the open end of the first one to get enough leverage to use them sometimes.

I dunno - that mega ratchet with a 4 foot extension was pretty badass.

Snap-on 3/4" 36" long ratchet. F936 for reference.

I'll get some more on Monday, my 65mm socket and wrenches up to 41mm.

60" pipe wrench--what are you workin' on

My thoughts exactly.

Largest wrench I have and have ever needed was a 1-5/8 inch. I have a 15 inch adjustable wrench that used to get used on occasion, now rarely, only if I need to tighten my tow hitch.

Some people who work on large heavy equipment have use for such large tools. Not me. In fact I keep and have only the tools that were ever useful to me. In fact now about 1/3rd of all the tools I own I rarely use much at all. But I just know that the day I sell something, no more than three weeks passes and I find myself in a situation where I need it. Murphy's law

Iveco Daily.

I think the thread I made when I got that was about the same.

 

[55Savoy]

How about 3 7/8 inch and a half drive impact with wobble joint

 

[carder69]

That is a monster. Are you saying it is 1/2 Drive? That must be some impact wrench. I would have guessed a 1 inch drive...

 

[alex71]

inch-and-a-half drive.

 

[UK Steve]

Who can tell me what the size is? The smallest chrome socket is 10mm the largest is 30mm. The black fella is 3.1/2" square drive........but whats the size in inches"

 

[carder69]

Based on the 3.5 inch drive, I will guess it is a 12 inch socket...

What do I win?

 

[jwitt]

2 3/8" Snapon

 

[rgates]

I have SO sockets up to 3" and axle nut sockets to 5". I have SO wrenches up to 2 1/2". That is a 1/2" wrench in the picture to give a size comparison.

I have a pair of 24" adjustables and a Ridgid "Super-Six" compound pipe wrench with (you guessed it) a 6" jaw opening. The handle is over 4' long. I"ll try to snap a picture next week.
