    Looking for a really big wrench! (really)

    I have a 3 7/16" nut I need to put a wrench on. The biggest wrench I've found local so far is a 24" adjustable and it aint even close. On-line I've found some 30" ones that are too small. I did find a 36" that will work, but at $500 and 30lbs, I'll pass.
    Anyone know of a place in the DFW area that may have what I need on hand?

    Can't help you on the wrench....biggest I've got is a 1 7/8" and I've only needed it once. Why the hell are you working on an 18 wheeler instead of the race car?? :shock:

    3 7/16" is small in my industry.
    I've seen some I can put my fist thru.

    Ask Tammy to compress it to 1 13/16 and then I'll loan you a wrench so that she can finish it off. You didn't indicate whether it was left or right. Just hope the other one is ok. :shock:

    You tried the equipment rental places like Rent One or Taylor etc?

    Plate steel and a waterjet. That's what I do for oddball large nuts I run across, I even have one for Al.

    How about using a pipe wrench?

    I can cut you one on the laser. I had to make one to fit the top of my sand filter on my pool. Call me.
