Line wrench

Post by DCIV »

Anyone use these?

https://amzn.to/3BhSnOJ

I have a fair amount of line connectors on the model A, I historically suck at those and round them out then put channel locks on them.

Anyone have any better suggestions?

Those look gimmicy and are way overpriced for China made. Get a quality set of flare nut wrenches. These are pretty good for starters.

Just wait until you get it stuck in position where you cannot go forward or back. :cool:

The one thing I was told that was absolutely true when I first started this job was do not buy cheap line wrenches. Snap on only.

Watching the video now….wow 52 bucks a wrench?! But man it’s the tightest clearances.

That video was great. Looks like I need to figure out which ones I need for that price.

Not worth the mistake for that price. You can tell they are Chinese built and could get you in a compromising situation.
