Hi all,

This upcoming holiday wknd will be my first trip to the RRG area. I'm wondering what common bolt(head) sizes there are; so I can make sure to bring a wrench or two incase I encounder any loosies. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

I need to throw a wrench in my pack also.

Is there ever a need for 1/2" or 5/8" (where a box end single wrench of two sizes would come in handy) or is a single 9/16" open/box end wrench the better choice?

Thanks in advance.

I think sometimes a 1/2" is needed? I just keep a small adjustable wrench with my draws and stuff. That usually is enough to just tighten things up, and you can use it for quick links as well.

No worries, it isn't so much for me, as for the commity at large. I have an normal sized wrench in the drill kit for my personal use. :wink:

Freaky Friday definitely throws a monkey wrench into an otherwise mundane day.
