    For the fractional SHCS, I simply remember the rule(s)...

    If less than 1/2 subtract 1/16 from the screw size to find wrench size
    else
    If less than 1 subtract 1/8 from the screw size to find wrench size

    I've never seen a 1" SHCS much less anything larger but there are similar consistencies as one goes up into those Brobdingnagian sizes.
