ELEAD Metric Flare Nut Wrench Set 14 Piece

Overview

The ELEAD 14-piece flare nut wrench set covers metric sizes and includes a roll of PTFE thread seal tape. The set weighs 1.6 kilograms and is built for turning flare fittings on brake lines, fuel lines and plumbing connections without rounding the nut.

Flare nut wrenches, also called line wrenches, wrap most of the way around a fitting instead of leaving one face open like a standard open end wrench, which lowers the risk of rounding off soft brass or thin walled fittings under torque. Including PTFE tape points this set toward plumbing and fuel line work alongside automotive brake line use. The listing does not break out which 14 sizes are included.

• 14-piece metric flare nut wrench set
• PTFE tape included
• 1.6 kilogram total set weight
• 0.88 inch maximum capacity

Who it's for

DIY mechanics, plumbers and anyone servicing brake or fuel lines who needs a full range of metric flare nut sizes in one box. Less useful to buyers who only need SAE sizes or a single occasional size.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Flare nut wrenches close around five of six flats on a fitting rather than four, distributing torque more evenly and reducing the chance of stripping a worn or soft nut compared to an open end wrench. The listed 0.88 inch capacity marks the largest jaw opening in the set, so buyers with larger fittings should check that figure against their application first.
