Stubby 24MM Wrench?

[rayh91]

I've been looking for a Stubby/Short 24mm wrench for a couple weeks now.

I know SK has one (SKT88124). I've looked everywhere for one but it's usually OOS. Ordered from 3 different places now and they're all on backorder. No ETA on them.

Snapon makes one but I think it's like $60. Haven't seen anything from Mac or Matco.

Anyone know where I can find the SK wrench or any USA made alternatives?

Ray,
An alternative would be 15/16". Often easier to source.
Close enough to not matter.

You could use a stubby 15/16 wrench. Open stock Craftsman?

Not sure if it will do the job you need, but striking wrenches are short too.

15/16. Haven't thought about that. Sears might have that. I'll check it out tomorrow.

Looks like they do.

Thanks for the quick responses.

60 bucks is damn cheap

Why don't you cut a wrench in half and make your own? Just a thought.

I agree cutting a cheap throw away wrench down with no warranty on it.This is one thing the cheap throw away wrenches made in China and India including Taiwan are good for.

Just saying, I think the stubby wrenchs are cute.

What about craftsman?

Well, I don't have one to cut up so rather than going out and buying a 24mm wrench and cutting it up. I'd rather get one that fits my needs and be done with it.

Unless I can't find one then that's a different story.

I have never seen one that big. It would be horribly inefficient to use. Big fatener and not much leverage behind a short wrench.

You could go with a stubby adjustable wrench. Thats what I did for bigger sized metric short wrenches.

Not as tight or accurate as a proper wrench, but with a big stubby wrench, I don't(can't) put much torque into it. At least not enough to round or nick the fastener.

Any longer would make it useless to me.

I need it to change engine oil pressure switches and they aren't torqued down too much anyway.

The idea is short for limited access. I use my extra short 15/16 on a daily basis.

What are people using these stubby 24s for? Curiosity and the cat and all.

The Craftsman 15/16 pictured is a chinese wrench :-(

A service wrench is another option at long as it's low torque. I bought a set from HF for $15 or so. They are thin and short, just what I needed in my case.

My Dad has used a 24mm on hydraulic lines for a Ponsee harvester.

I used my 1-1/8 the other day changing an air valve on a trailer.

I'm assuming you've checked Amazon.com for the nice SK stubby, but if not, check back every so often, they pop up once in a while...they're not always listed individually, but when I was shopping, each diff. size would pop up once in a while. Sometimes with a sale price too.

Thanks last time I checked it was unavailable through Amazon but now it says they have 1 in stock. I'm going to give it one last try before I go with the Craftsman.

4th times the charm. My amazon order was just shipped.

Hopefully I can cancel my other order. I don't want to end up with two heh.
