It fits the standard size of 11/16" just fine.
It does but good luck using it. I work on my cars and they are metric now but I used to have older American cars that actually had standard bolts and I almost never used 11/16. I think now you could go 10 years and not encounter an 11/16 inch application. You might be able to go the rest of your life and never turn an 11/16 inch bolt.

That's quite a blanket statement. I used an 11/16" wrench just yesterday on one of my cars. It is common in plumbing fixtures, as well as a common size for SAE 7/16" nuts (bolt heads for 7/16" are usually 5/8", but the nuts are not).
But, rather than TC the deal, you can always go play with your metric wrench set.

Well good, in 300 years with all that usage you might wear out these two wrenches. I have had an 11/16 ratcheting wrench (came in a set) for many years. I've never used it but one day I will I'm sure.

As ToHellWithUGA suggests, you can always use it in dodgeball practice.
I have been a heavy equipment mechanic for 30 years and the only time I have used a 11/16" socket or wrench is on 1/2" crosby wire rope clips. Nut sizes are standard to bolts and there is a handy formula. Say you have a 1/2" bolt. triple the top number and double the bottom number and it gives you the wrench size in this case 3/4". It works for all bolt sizes and not one will equals 11/16. It is a special size used very rarely

It always amazes me to see people assert that their own personal experience is equal to the sum total of all experiences. The fact that you've been a heavy equipment mechanic for 30 years seems not to have exposed you to the world of tools sufficiently (which really surprises me). When I saw your post, I walked out to my garage, pulled out an 11/16" wrench, reached into a junk drawer, and immediately pulled out 3 11/16" hex nuts (the junk drawer is filled with nuts and bolts of all imaginable sizes, it's not just a drawer of "impossible to find 11/16" nuts). One was threaded on a bolt that had a 5/8" head (see my previous comment about the 5/8" - 11/16" relationship and 7/16" bolts). I even took a picture of it for you--
inert gas fittings on a Argon/co2 regulators Rochester 2GC (and probably 2G's, but I don't have one handy) fuel inlets jamb nut on my daughter's skateboard trucks 1940 Ford brake adjusters (11/16 and 3/4 required) hydraulic fittings weatherhead fittings Caterpillar uses them ALL OVER their products 1965-1792 American Motors appeared to have a real affinity for them as they are EVERYWHERE on those year model cars 3/8" JIC/SAE fittings GM bumper bolts from at least the 1960's through when they stopped putting chrome bumpers on things shock bolts on AT LEAST 1963-1987 Chevy C10/C20/C30 trucks... probably many more GM cars and trucks -AN fittings
... and on, and on, and on.
Just because YOU'VE never used one, does not me ONE is never used. Now, the OP is about a good price on a wrench. If you want one, buy one. If you don't, don't.
The point of my post is that 11/16 is a non standard size for SAE bolts. The nut you have that fits a 5/8 bolt is an oversized nut and not standard. The list you gave of applications is long an arcane and very few people would find themselves working on these things in their home garage. Yes the price is excellant but vast majority of bolts come with standard sized nuts

Except that your point isn't valid. There are zillions of applications for this size. You've decided that "arcane" means "anything YOU are not immediately surrounded by," in your HOME garage, which isn't a valid definition. Further, the FACT is that SAE DOES define the NUT (not the bolt) of 7/16 to be 11/16" from face to face... use your googles.
Continue googling and you will see countless reliable references that support my statements... not just "I've never used it so it must not be something ANYONE uses" kinds of comments.
I mentioned this topic on a fabricator's forum I participate in, and got about 50 replies ranging from "I guess I can squeeze a 5/8" wrench on this nut since [they] think 11/16" isn't real." to "they can come work for me, and every time they need an 11/16" wrench, I guess they'll have to use their teeth."
It's all a bit funny and silly, really... that you'd be so willing to assert "Internet pseudo-fact" just to TC a deal you clearly have no interest in (since, for you, there's no use for the tool in the first place).
If you work on any type of tubing, or perhaps in the semiconductor industry, you will use the 5/8", 11/16" and 3/4" almost every single day. It is that common. That being said, I never seem to use 13/16" so I am going to also make a blanket assumption and state it is oddball and only an fool would ever need such a wrench size.
