Tools (Sockets, Wrenches, Spanners) With Sizes in X/64 "?

[YoshiMoshi3]

Does anyone know manufacturers that made tool sets like sockets and wrenches that come with across the flat dimensions specified in X/64 "? For example 21/64 ". I would imagine only a limited amount of tool companies would have made tools in such sizes, and that the list would be rather small. Is there a list somewhere?

I know ignition wrenches in 13/64 " and 15/64 " are still a bit common and still made today. I think I have to get into older stuff to more odd ball sizes.

Please and thanks.

Are you goofing on us? Or do you have a really short memory?! We just went through this a few months ago at the tail end of your very similar thread inquiring about x/32nds sizes.

Here's your query in that thread...

I know this is a bit off topic, but are the 53/64 and 57/64 the only X/64 sockets known to exist? I know that there are some lug nut extractor sockets that are splined drive that are modern made. But I think 53/64 and 57/64 I think are the only vintage made sizes.

Here's my reply...

Mossberg made detachable heavy-duty sockets with an entire range of /64" service opening sizes - from 29/64" to 1-17/64" - in the late 1920's, after pressed steel, before hot-forged. I have a few. See the 29/64" below and a link to my GJ post with photos of other examples and a catalog cut here.

There's little doubt this practice emerged from their propensity for making a range of sockets with /64" service openings in the Brass Era press fit to fixed handle socket wrenches, such as these Tee Handles from my collection.

And another one...

Here is list of Williams socket wrenches made with /64ths sizes.

My bad. I couldn't remember if I created a thread on this or not, specific to this question. I'll take a look again at that. Thanks.

No worries. I should've put a smiley face in there somewhere.
