i could. Do 200 to 250. On a wrench set that cover 1 5/16 to 2in if its usa made
I found this hoped maybe someone had a similar set https://www.ebay.com/itm/251283286155?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tXrsbC4mQ2e&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=afRINawmTe6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Dustin , that EBay set has a lot of sizes you are unlikely to use ever , for metrics I’d just grab 24 (same as 15/16), 27( same as 1 1/16) , 30mm , 32 , 36(same as 1 7/16) and 41.

Those are the main sizes i encounter but again im ocd and dont like skipping

Going to drop a recommendation that you look at Cripe Distributing, either via their website, or on Ebay, with that username.

My advice for sizes beyond 1 & 1/4" as follows. Wrench wise I have sizes to 1&1/2". The ONLY reason I have sizes beyond 1&1/4" was through the years every so often I found some great quality USA brand wrenches in those sizes too cheap to pass up. I mean like $8-10 a wrench. Had they not been so cheap I never would have added them. The need was simply not justified for anything but dirt cheap used prices. Most of those wrenches I have had for several decades. Only once or twice have I ever had need to use one of them.
Unless they are USA quality and stupid cheap, take a pass. Like as not you will never need them.

Other than sockets, The biggest combination wrenches I have are 1 3/8”.. And metric is 35mm.. When I come across the need for bigger size, I simply machine one up... At the prices of the biggies, i can do a lot of machining!
My larger Snap-On sizes up to 1 3/8"

When you need them then it's always a nice feeling to reach into the drawer, pat yourself on the back, and know you're covered. I got lucky when the big sized Craftsman Pros were on clearance about a decade ago -- stocked up then. Before that time my largest SAE wrench was in the old Wards Powr-Kraft set from 1977, and was 1-5/16". IIRC the largest metric wrench I owned up to that point was in an Easco set and was 35mm.
That said, many young mechanics I know opt for the the much less expensive Jumbo SAE and Metric HF Pittsburgh sets. They get the job done --

I have combination wrenches up to 2". SK and Power Kraft I believe, I'd have to take a look. When I'd see them used for $10 in good shape, I couldn't pass them up. Rarely have used them, but like GF said, nice to have if you need them.

I’m not one for sets , happy to buy just odd ones when I see them and the price is good . So there is a fair smattering of brands …… (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240205/4f1cd57c0cdc98ad1347031ff4e2b90d.jpg)
