Does anyone make a 6 point box end wrench in 1 1/16?

Princess Auto has them in Canada. I looked at one last week, but it was priced at about 10 dollars, and I had bought the rest of the set for 12 at the same outlet. Instead I went with a socket.

Seems just about every nut on a Massey Ferguson plow is 1 1/16, fine thread.

I know the last set of 6 point wrenches we got for the shop were Craftsman because they were the only ones we could find that were reasonably priced. Like MSB said you should be able to get one from them even if they have to order it for you.

Duke, I get them from Snap On, and I use them quite a bit when working on my tractors. I get much more power to the bolt in a more efficient and safer angle than I can with a 6 point socket on a ratchet. 6-point box end wrenches absolutely have their place. Craftsman, proto, cornwell etc, all have them, or can order them.

Duke..... ...6-point box wrenches (ringed spanners) are NOT POPULAR nor common. Has to do with 60* vs 30* of stroke in tight places. While I have very few 12-pt sockets (special applications), I INSIST on 6-pt sockets because they won't ROUND the corners of rusted tight nuts and bolts; and ratchets have 15* to 22* of stroke. And while 6-pt sockets are inherently stronger, I recently broke a 6-pt 17mm IMPACT socket by HAND. Snap-on toolman was properly impressed (and so was my butt) and just handed me another..... ...Dell

The only one I can find in Grainger is a Proto striking wrench, 9-7/8 long @ $34.40. (2003) Proto #2717sw. Grainger #1APK2. I would think a good 12 point would work. Or a 6 point impact socket.
