Who uses the 32nd's?

[AUconcrete]

Just curious as to who uses their 19/32, 21/32, 25/32, 29/32, 31/32 sockets/wrenches and for what types of applications?

Some will work on Metric applications.

I have used some on old Fords and tractors. One has to wonder why limiting complex consumer machinery to just a few sizes of fastener head was not common years ago.

Sometimes 12 point 32nds sizes work on square nuts

aircraft fasteners ?

I'm trying to find the application for a Hinsdale offset double box wrench I have.

Sizes are 45/64 and 13/16

Yes, MD80/Boeing 717 rudder hinge nuts are 25/32 and flap attach fitting nuts are 29/32, both in 12 point.

I would love to find 19/32 and 25/32 6 point 1/2 drive sockets if anyone is willing to part with theirs......12 point is so ordinary.

Used one on my old Cutlass.

I used them when I put up a metal shed in the back yard. The sheetmetal screws had a 32nd head on them, but I don't remember the exact size. Just know I had to look a while to find the silly sucker.
