Slim Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Does anyone know where i can source a 'real' 13mm crows foot spanner. I don't mean one of those flat steel things that take a 3/8 drive extension bar. I've tried the internet without success. Frank Oon boat so may take time to acknowledge any responses (from pub) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Brooks Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 What equipment needs a 13mm crowsfoot? Sounds a bit like 9/16" for 1.5 head nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Here's one http://www.gedoretools.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?cat=&q=13mm+crowfoot I googled "13mm crowfoot" with the quote marks. There are more results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always understood 13mm =1/2"imperial 9/16"usually came under the 15 mm cloak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brooks Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Yes but I am trying to work out what on a boat is likely to require a metric crows foot. Just do not want the OP to strip corners off a AF nut by using a metric tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I suggest the OP measures across the flats with a vernier calliper (these are now incredibly cheap) and checks to see if it is truly a metric bolt. As others have said, it's more likely to be Imperial. 1/2 " is 12.7mm which could easily be mistaken for 13mm if measuring with a steel rule or a tape measure. Especially if it were still covered in paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thanks for everyone's comments and suggestions ( don't know how to highlight individual comments on this tablet 1) I can confirm that it's a 13mm spanner I need, it's to get to a couple of inaccessable bolts on my generator installation. When I did them up it took 8 yes 8 hours to tighten 2 2) I 'll try the sites suggested by some of you though at least one seems familar. Many thanks Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGoat Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Would an obstruction wrench or a cranked spanner do the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
