Title: Oddball Double Box End Wrench Available?
Post by: gtermini on May 26, 2023, 04:04:00 PM
Looking for a wrench that might not exist. I run a machine that uses 3/8 hardware with a mix of standard and heavy hex heads. I'd like a double box end wrench with 9/16 and 11/16 ends to keep with the machine for convenient use. Anybody know if such a wrench was ever made?

I know that the old Williams obstruction wrenches had a 9/16 by 11/16 version. Of course, 75 degree double offset DOE, but -  if you don't need alot of torque - it might work for you.
Here it is in the middle of this trio.

Wrench shows 17mm in the picture. I wonder where the description came from? At $46 delivered, I think I'd might as well dig through the old wrench bin and practice my best Dr. Frankenstein.
