My 1" gets some use. I use the box end to hook into the open end on other wrenches for added leverage all the time...  Aahhh, Yes! My Dad taught me that trick and it has come in very handy over the years.

I just came back to the office from a job where one of my plumbers was changing out a sizeable pump and flanges. The flange bolts took a 3/4" wrench and between the 2 of us we could only come up with one! Most used wrench today-3/4".

Most used ranges from 7/16 through 1/2 to 9/16, depending on the job. Least used either 19/32 or 15/16.

My Dad taught me that trick and it has come in very handy over the years. okay I use mine that way too, I guess, but since it's in the tool box it's most often the 3/4 since it's out already. yer a tricky bastid dave, I like that

Quickly, on an SAE wrench set size zero up to an inch, Which do you use the least, which do you use the most?
Well, I have never used a size "zero". But apart from that smart ass answer, 1/16" followed by 13/16" is it unless we go into the odd 32nds. 1/32" is another that I just never use. Most used runs in cycles. For a while it was 7/16" then 9/16" lately mostly 1/2" Just seems to run in streaks for some reason.

1/2 probably most used
19/32 least used but when you need it you need it , nothing else will fit
Mike +1 Do sets even come with a 19/32 anymore?

I thought of this last night when I had to reach for a size I rarely use.
I've got my least used size picked out but I'm gonna hold on & see if anybody else answers the same first.
1/2" is probably the most common for me to use.
Least - 29/64 Most - 9/16 probably...

After wrenching on M1 Abrams for 14 years so far, most used is a 9/16's, followed closely by a 3/4 and 1-1/2. least used is a 11/16 or 13/16.

Zero one the least. Cresent the most.

When I was working in HVAC it was 5/16, 1/4, and then 1/2, the least used was the one I needed at 3am and took out of my tool bag.

9/16" the most. 15/16" the least.
My brother and I were going through Dad's stuff last weekend, and some of the things we kept finding had us both scratching our heads. That's after he purged many of his tools, once after retiring, then again when he moved the last time.
I think there will be a couple of Model A cylinder head wrenches headed to Ebay, soon...

in the locomotive diesel shop, we use 15/16 pretty often, but 9/16" is most used by far
still almost no metric bolts

After reveiwing all replies, it is obvious that men like large wenches less.

13/16 the least, must have 20 of them hanging up. We never seem to lose those... On the other hand, never have enough 1/2, 9/16, and 3/4 around.

Anything under 3/8" the least, those little [bleep] and the 11/16".
Most used 9/16".
Dad and I changed the fuel pump on a '66 Ford F600 this afternoon(43k original one owner miles...). 1/2 and 9/16 was all that was needed, I cheated and used some fancy jointed extension and a ratchet though...grin
