Wrench for cornys?

[rtbrews]

What is the best kind of wrench to use to screw and unscrew the gas and liquid post fittings on a corny keg? I have a couple kegs that the wrench I have just will not unscrew them and I need to get them off to replace the 0-rings. Any recommendations welcome.

Thanks!

I use my socket wrench. I have a set that had the right size and deep enough to reach the bottom.

I use a common box-end wrench - 12pt

Standard 3/8" socket wrench and deep socket set (inches, not metric).

No-brainer. You must have this wrench. I have 7 kegs with one size post, and 3 with a smaller size. This wrench handles both of them. Sears.

They are either 11/16 or 7/8. You will have either size or a mixture of both. Some posts require a 12 point socket so I would suggest buying this as it will work for a 6 point fitting. Also, make sure it's a deep socket.

In summary
12 point 11/16 deep socket
or
12 point 7/8 deep socket

EDIT: If you are buying new, go with what passedpawn posted.

That's my wrench too. Perfect for corny keg posts.

Not really "necessary", more like, "nice to have". I use standard 12-pt box end wrenches without issues. As a bonus, you can give the non-ratchet a whack with a hammer with less fear of busting it up.

Order placed. Thanks all, I am really looking forward to easily getting these posts off and cleaned properly!
