Ez Red flair nut Wrenchs

[Smoky14]

I'm looking for a GOOD flare nut wrench set. Has anyone got experience with this set? So many wrenches are so fat that they won't work in tight spaces or if thin enough to fit will spread and slip if the nut is tight.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Look at the SK wrenches, not cheap but high quality, they wont spread. This is a small metric set they have all sort of sets and individual sizes.

Kobalt set has not failed me yet. Took off 8 brake lines from a 25 year old Volvo brake line junction block that's about the size of D battery.

This is a good set, made in the US of quality steel. That price isn't bad and those are the common metric sizes.

Check out Proto as well, or used Snap On on Ebay.

They never let me down, even in difficult repair situations.

I've got one single flare nut wrench for my Buick and it's a 15x17 Snap-on. I can't understand why guys buy a whole set of flare nut wrenches when they only have one size on their car.

If you think of them as a stronger, deeper open-end spanner that could make sense. They can't only be used on brake pipes, and standard open-ends aren't always effective. Plus cars get changed.

I have some King Tony and some cheaper Force. The King Tony's are deeper, and therefore probably stronger but the Force sometimes fit where the Tony's won't
