Anyone use these?

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.

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.

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.
