fork size for clipons

[SONICJK]

I've got a big craftsman crescent wrench with mm markings on one side and inches on the other. I think it goes to 45 mm.
So there's that.

I just use a caliper though

like I said, if you have wrenches that big chances are you have a caliper in there too.
Interesting set of wrenches though because metrics don't match up exactly to SAE. 1-1/4"=31.75mm, 1-1/2"=38.10. What do the wrenches say?


Never mind, I missed the "crescent" part, Duh

Think he means a 'monkey wrench'

I have up to 75mm wrenches at my disposal. So... Yeah.

I took the easy way out and have separate metric and standard crescent wrenches.
I've never seen a calibrated crescent wrench before. I mean do you really need it on a crescent?

I don't know how accurate mine is, i just hit kids with it when they act up

metric or standard, that usually works.

It has mm readings on one size and inches on the other

Interestingly though, as you get into really large socket sets, they stop differentiating between mm and inches. They just have them labeled as both, because at that size the tiny difference doesnt really make any difference.

I think Tom Lehrer wrote a song about it

Back up a couple 'Chard... a crescent isn't a Monkey wrench... a Pipe wrench is closer to a Monkey. They were used for the old square nuts... the head doesn't pivot or have teeth like like Pipe wrench but they look alike.
Now on another note...the Wifey has a monkey and thank GAWD it doesn't have teeth!

Is the Chimpanzee (Ape) looking at the lady's monkey, cause there isn't one monkey in that picture I can see.

For a guy who really knows his wrenches, you sure don't know your primates. Hope dating wasn't difficult for you... ;D

I stand corrected. I wanted to put a pic of a really hairy ladies monkey in the post, but when that chimp came up I thought it best.

Of the above, only the last should be allowed near a motorcycle!

What do you mean!?

I use a pipe wrench to tighten my head bolts. Put a cheater bar on the end of it and you can really crank those puppies down. I prefer 423 ft lbs myself.
