Title: Re: 13mm wrenches, who has the most? Post by: Tobi/DFL on November 22, 2007, 13:05:26 pm I guess it must be about 10 BUT how many 11mm wrenches do you have? I have about 8-10 and nearly each one is modifoied in any way to fasten/loosen those damn nuts on the manifolds...

Post by: louisb on November 22, 2007, 15:04:14 pm I guess it’s more special to have metric tool in the states, Nah, its just the most common size nut/bolt on a VW. And even though I know I have five, it seems I can never find one when I need one. --louis Title: Re: 13mm wrenches, who has the most?

Post by: stealth67vw on November 22, 2007, 18:16:30 pm I've got 5 Craftsman, 3 Snap On, 1 Mac, 1 Matco, 2 11x13 Hazet, 2 13x17 Hazets and about 10 Chinese ones. I carry all Chinese tools in my car in case I loose one or give them away etc. I find most of them at yard/estate sales for real cheap.

I bought my dad two sets of Halfords ratchet spanners - the regular ones and the ones with the flexable heads. There are so many jobs that they make it easier to do. :) Title: Re: 13mm wrenches, who has the most? Post by: Lids on November 23, 2007, 21:42:02 pm i might have to strip the car down, just to get to use them :) My brother got them from the tool man at his work. He fits imported cars at Bristol docks. Gets a shed load of money to make them UK spec, before they go off to the dealers. He also gets Snap-on and Britool very very cheap.
