Large sizes of spanners & sockets

I have socket sets that go up to 1" AF and several spanner sets that go up to 7/8" ........... however this does not often cover what is needed. For example today I needed 1+1/16" AF (for a 3/4" UNC nut)

Anybody aware of somewhere that sells spanner sets that cover next range of sizes ... i.e above 7/8" maybe sizes 15/16" to 1 +1/4" Same for sockets.

Getting larger range of metric spanners was easy ... have a set that goes from 4 - 32mm, it's AF seems the problem.

I know I can buy individual sockets & spanners .... but they are expensive (1 + 1/6" cost me £12 ) _________________________________

Don't know where you are but I think many of us will know of outlets (round here say Dunstable Discount, even Lidl or Aldi) often buy up job lots of cheap Chinese tools, and I have often been tempted to buy one of their sets of giant sockets. Generally the sets come cheaper than buying one individual outsize socket used to 30y ago!

this approach works especially well with large sizes:

You're very unlikely to find imperial sizes in Lidl or Aldi. Cars went metric about 25 years ago.

Well, cheap outlets do sometimes have imperial sets IMVLE.
