I need to buy some wrenches for my reloading set up. I have been using a crescent wrench I don't care for it.

What size wrenches for
RCBS dies
Dillon dies
Rock Chucker bushing
Any other wrenches for a Dillon XL650 or Rock Chucker Supreme

Thanks

The lock ring on the dillon dies takes a 1" wrench (unless you have really old dillon dies with the larger lock rings)

every other brand dies I have is larger than that, so I just use an adjustable

Place calipers on nut and you will have your answer.

I use a Stanley 85-762 adjustable wrench that I purchased at a pawn shop. It opens to 1-3/8 inches. I also use a speed wrench for my lag bolt mountings.

Check  Brownells. They have Specialized pliers for tightening dies.

This adjustable wrench has become one of my favorite tools.  The jaws are wedge-shaped, not rounded like a Crescent wrench.  So, they fit into tighter spots (like the locknuts on a tool head).  The adjustments have less slop in them making the wrench fit after adjustment as good or better than most open-end wrenches.  This can be especially important at the lower end of the range of adjustment.  The jaws also open wider than the equivalent sized Crescent.  

They come in several different sizes.
