Hook Spanner

What hook spanners do y’all recommend for 4”-6” cylinder diameters? I’ve only had to use pin spanners in the past.

I have a set of William's spanners at work. They are still made in USA, some Williams stuff isn't like their chain wrenches. I'm happy with them the fit and finish is nice and they weren't super expensive. Some of the Williams stuff is pretty rough quality wise these days though I would buy the spanners again.

I have a newer set of williams wrenches they are very ruff and unfinished.

Eyeballed the OTC 7309 adjustable hook spanner, but always ended up using pipe or chain wrenches to break loose at work.

I have a set of the William's super combo standard wrenches, they are great quality and smooth with a great fit and finish made in USA. They are my go to wrenches in my tool bag that gets dragged all over this mine and used every day. I have a set of Williams metric stain finish wrenches, made in Taiwan, decent quality/ fit and finish though the box end is a little big. I have a set of William's standard angle wrenches, made in USA, the fit and finish is atrocious, if I didn't have working man's hands they would probably cut me the edges are so sharp, they don't feel good, and the quality is just garbage for $300 worth of wrenches.

Back to the subject their hook spanners are great quality for the money.

A pipe wrench or a chain wrench and if it’s really being a stone cold bitch a torch.

Thanks much guys. I ended up getting a Stahlwille 12910 with a 95-165mm range off of eBay for $40. I was looking at the OTC wrenches, and happened to stumble on the Stahlwille. Guess I'll find out if its a good one or not.

I have a few stahlwille wrenches they seem to be ok. I bought a set of pitsburgforge metric wrenches to put a box of just in case tools for my truck they have been in the shop in a cabinet i looked at them yesterday and they had started to rust.
