Who makes thin wrenches in large metric sizes?

[submariner]

From searching these forums I found one: Facom FM-31.JE6T set (8mm-19mm).

Before I hit the buy button, is there any other good quality sets in large metric sizes (>8 mm) for between $75-$150?

I don't need them to be super thin like cone (bike) wrenches. I also looked up the Hazet, Stahwille, Gedore and KTC catalogues but no luck. I also spent hours on Google looking at 'ignition' and 'tappet' wrench sets but they were too small.

Can you help?

Have you looked at service wrench sets?

Armstrong and wiha make sets that big but more expensive. Probably should stick with facom if it's not a daily tool.

There are others but they're "generic" (import) brands.

Given your location, not sure. Martin and Proto IIRC make check nut wrenches that are pretty thin. You may want to ask members Monte or JMM, they are usually up on the euro brand offerings.

Out of the budget probably but Wurth wrenches ( Stahwille? ) tend to be thinner. I have the DOE, used them daily for a good while.

Darn good wrenches.

I have but they're mostly too big, I also need 8-19 mm.

Thanks for the tip, BTW do you have a part number?

Given your location...

Don't worry about my location. >80% of my tools are from Amazon.de or Amazon.com - they ship everywhere.

The Proto Check Nut wrenches only go down as far as 10mm. I'm not sure who makes a 8mm, but I'm sure someone does .

Check into bicycle cone wrenches like Park Tool Shop Cone Wrench Set

Bought this set for the occasional need, note they are not high torque application:

I've always used Martin, but they all were SAE.
