Hands on Review: “Ball Lock Keg Wrench” – 11/16″+7/8″ Ratcheting Wrench – via Apollo Tools Wrench Set

Apollo Tools DT1212 SAE Ratcheting Wrench Set includes 5 wrenches of various sizes. One of those has an 11/16″ end and a 7/8″ end. Those happen to be the two common sizes for ball lock posts.

What Size Are Ball Lock Keg Posts?

There are two primary post sizes for standard ball lock kegs. 11/16″ and 7/8″. These can come in both 6 point and 12 point, compatible variations. I’ve seen two other post sizes. 5/8″ and 9/16″. I consider those more non-standard. The wrench featured here works with what I consider to be the two most common ball lock post sizes 11/16″ and 7/8″.

Here’s the full set with packaging/storage case. The set includes 1/4-Inch by 5/16-Inch, 3/8-Inch by 7/16-Inch, 1/2-Inch by 9/16-Inch, 5/8-Inch by 3/4-Inch and11/16-Inch by 7/8-Inch ratcheting wrenches
