Starting to do a lot more hydraulic work and I'm realizing I need some compact short wrenches like the Martin set. What are you mechanics using? Im just trying to be smart and not just buy buy buy, I spent alot of $$ on tools these past couple years. Maybe I dont need a whole set and I can just buy the common line sizes instead. Thoughts?
Did you see this thread? HeavyEquipmentForums
I have bought cheaper wrenches in sets and singles and cut them down to what we needed to get through. For the years when there was no budget. LOL
I'm not sure if you have harbor freight by you but they sell a metric and standard set for like $50 a set.
Proto crowsfeet work almost always
I've got the Martin type hyd. wrenches, they work great once you have the fitting broke loose. Also have Snap on 4 way wrenches along with a large array of cut down wrenches. Here's a list of JIC and ORF wrench sizes. JIC#6-11/16". #8-7/8". #10-1". #12-1 1/4". #14- 1 3/8". #16- 1 1/2". 20- 2". O ring face #6- 13/16". #8- 15/16". #10- 1 1/8". #12- 1 3/8". #14- 1 1/2". #16- 1 5/8". # 20- 1 7/8". Of course then you have BSPP, DIN, Komatsu ect. which are different again.
