Interesting the 3/8-9/16 are six point and the rest twelve. That set is as Bonneyman said primo.
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

My set like that was the same way. Don't know why.

Maybe for people who can't decide which they want.

It was probably a cost-cutting thing. They put 6 point sockets into their budget sets instead of Loc-Rite ones in certain sizes to save money.

SK did the same thing....6/12 point. The way I figure it, the smaller sizes ARE more prone to rounding off the nut (when using 12pt), and 6pt wins every time in my book.

Looking at my Thorsen combo wrench set, those smaller sizes are 6pt, and are 12pt on the box end.

Then again, PROTO might think they know something when I have 3/8 drive sockets in 12pt down to 5/16" sizing.

Made some additions to the Bonney stockpile today. A 5/8 x 11/16 DBE, a pair of 6" extensions and a 3" ext. $20

Gotta love that Bonney chrome!  :93:

Glad to bring it up for ya!

I kinda lose track of what and where I post things. Especially with Bonney stuff, as I'm a huge fan.

Here is a partial set of Bonney line wrenches (flare and box end) wrenches I picked up lately.  So far I haven't been able to pick up the missing wrenches, 13/16, 1 1/16 and 1 1/4".  Can anyone help?  I have needed this set for awhile, as I have aged the short flare wrenches are hard for me to turn on my larger equipment.

I hate to break it to you CoolMerc, but Bonney didn't make flare/box combos in those sizes.  :'(

They skipped 13/16", and the only size larger than 1" is a 1 1/8".

Thanks bonneyman, I just figured since the pouch had space for them they existed.  Guess the pouch was for something else. :a102:

Yeah, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I found this out some years ago, when I started looking for a 13/16" flare (very common in HVAC fittings) and discovered my fav Bonney wrench style didn't exist. So I grabbed a double flare with one end of 13/16" and still looking for an angle wrench in that size. They are hard to find and expensive when they do pop up.
