All,

I am not sure but I believe ST needle valves have a 6 mm nut size. I've been trying to find some 6mm open wrenches and have been having difficulty in getting a wrench that small. Any idea where I could find one?   

I've been using a 1/4 inch wrench but it is sloppy when it comes to tightening the nuts firmly

Thanks for your input in advance.

   A real ST collet has a 6mm hex. Some of the erzatz versions have something else.

     These wrenches are nothing special, I don't know why there would be a problem getting them almost anywhere, even Lowe's or Home Depot, but here is the same thing from Amazon:

    I got mine at Sears when Sears still existed.

Thanks All,

I guess it is just my area then, I tried Lowes and harbour frieght  as well as AutoZone, they didn't have them.    I knew someone out here would have come across this before and would have the link to a 6mm wrench. I will order them from the links provided.


Thanks again,

My deep well set, which I have much enjoyed, is shown below.  I've got a set of Snap-On sockets too, which are pricey but actually do not fit as well.
