looking to borrow corney keg wrench
Hey all, I have two beers I need to keg, but can't until I get the posts torqued onto the kegs. Does anyone have an appropriate wrench that I could borrow? I can't seem to find my own in my mess of a storage unit.

here's how I remember: Pepsi tastes like what I'd imagine balls would taste like
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

That would be a 7/8" wrench IIRC.

I just use a 22 mm wrench on mine, works fine, they are both the same size.

I have ball locks with both 7/8" and 11/16".

Yup, depends on the manufacturer of the keg I believe.LeafMan66_67 wrote:I have ball locks with both 7/8" and 11/16".

Also-its no problem borrowing the wrenches, except I'm in Lr Sackville.CorneliusAlphonse wrote:Hey all, I have two beers I need to keg, but can't until I get the posts torqued onto the kegs.

Re: looking to borrow corney keg wrench
Yeah I think 11/16 was closer to what mine were. Don't remember exactly.
Thanks for the offer Derek, but I think I'll pass before going to lower Sackville - probably spend more on gas than it'd cost to buy a new wrench

Crisis averted. Found someone with a wrench set. 7/8" is a very close fit, must actually be 22mm post. The 7/8" will work though
Thanks all!!
Thanks all!!

Re: looking to borrow corney keg wrench
yup...i've always used the 22mm on the larger type and 11/16 on the small type posts.
