I am thinking about commissioning a complete set of AN wrenches for racers.

What I want to know from you guys that already have AN wrenches, is what size fittings aren't supported by your set.

Like a normal size 10, i.e., one inch, doesn't work with Earls 1 1/6" fitting.

If I am going to have them built then i want to make sure all sizes are supported.

All advice welcome.

This set: Adjustable AN Wrench Set fits 'AN-3 to AN-20'. About $100 the pair.

Since I already have wrenches for the smaller sizes, I think I"ll just be getting the larger of the two - still a little pricey at $65 but then I wouldn't have to duplicate the smaller sizes if I got a set.

It's a fine line - Carroll Smith says adjustable wrenches are a crime against nature, but then I don't think the aluminum adjustables were around in his lifetime. And what is more cool than an aluminum wrench for your pretty AN fittings?

I'm making up two sets of lines this weekend, in fact, both using Earl's AN-8.

One's for an oil cooler on the John Deere V-Twin yard tractor, the other is for an intercooler on the shop air compressor...

Since I've already got $250 invested in thermostat, cooler, and fittings for the cooler the tractor arguably doesn't need in the first place, I couldn't see adding another $65 to the damage so yes - I'll be using my regular adjustable wrench and possibly a bit of tape on the jaws...
