Re: Where are the GAV Wrench's
It is no small task to get set up for manufacturing something like that. And, small runs almost always end up loosing money. I give him a lot of credit for even trying.
In the meantime, I have been making out just fine with this open end: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E3WD68/

Re: Where are the GAV Wrench's
I made my own several years ago, just took a 3/8" deep socket and carefully filed it down to 13/32", works just fine and I use a lot to rebuild carburetors.

Just received the one KGBnut suggested. As a bonus the 5/16 end fits the Zenith drain plug. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E3WD68/ |

Re: Where are the GAV Wrench's
I took a 10 MM 12 point box end off the wall brand wrench and filed or to fit the 11/32 GAV , only took 2 cans of beer to do it, worked for me.

Re: Where are the GAV Wrench's
Brian, maybe have a couple more beers and make it 13/32" so it fits the GAV...

Re: Where are the GAV Wrench's
Haag1332 was last on line here on 9/22/16
fingers was last on line here today, 9/29/16 Don't know what the problem with the sockets is, but it would be nice for one of them to chime in with an update. I feel fortunate that I received mine a while ago, and they are definitely a quality product. Several carbs have been rebuilt using their socket.

Re: Where are the GAV Wrench's
His integrity is certainly being questioned. Just because some people got them does not excuse his poor track record. A craftsman he may well be. A business man he is not. Wayne
