GEARDRIVE Flare Nut Wrench Set, Metric, 3-piece, 10-17mm, Chrome Vanadium Steel, Organizer Pouch Included

I needed a set of metric line wrenches. I seen these and there on sale. The only thing I don’t like is there just a little oversized. They fit loose on the nut. I borrowed a set of craftsman line wrench’s and they fit tight. Maybe I Little to tight. That better than rounding off the nut. If I knew they would have been loose like they are I would have spent $5 more and got the craftsman. These still work. I use them all the time. For someone who uses them every once in a while they are great. There worth the price with free shipping and a case to store them in.

The first time using the wrench, the arm of the wrench bent and rounded the flare nut on my power steering line. I then used my open ended Craftsman wrench to break that same fitting free. The reason you use flare nut wrenches is to minimize the risk of round the flare nut on stubborn fittings that are generally softer than steel fittings (i.e. brass). The Geardrive tool actually made the situation worse and I was lucky the normal wrench was able to break the nut loose. These tools are clearly not quality steel if an open end wrench can break free a fitting that this wrench rounded over. Attached is the both this Geardrive wrench and the Craftsman wrench overlaid for comparison, were you can clearly see the deformation. This wrench was not deformed to begin with, it fit snuggly over the fitting prior to using. After using, the wrench has a bunch of slop from the now poor fit. I would not recommend these tools to anyone.

Purchased this set to work on a fairly older car (99 Integra GSR). Did not want to risk stripping the metal lines when replacing the Clutch & Slave cylinders on an older car. These did the job just fine and fairly cheap. Ive heard of people stripping the lines and having to pay lots of $ IF they could even find the replacement lines anymore. Figured I'd grab these instead of taking my chances and im glad I did, no stripping at all on a 22 year old hydraulic lines that have never been loosened.

I bought the set to replace a set that was stolen from me years ago. Flare wrenches are not an often used tool for the home mechanic. However, the flare wrenches are nice to have for transmission and brake lines to avoid rounding the hexes. I have not used the particular set yet, but they seem to be solid with a good soft case.

You should use flare wrenches to remove the brake fluid lines from a master cylinder to avoid stripping them. I only needed a 15mm but this set came with 3 wrenches, each wrench has 2 sizes. I also comes in a nice storage bag. Great value for the product. Not really sure when I will use them again, but this set was cheaper than Harbor Freight, which is where I usually buy my tools for "one and done" type jobs.

I bought this kit specifically for the 10 mm size to loosen the brake bleeder value when bleeding my brakes. However, there was way too much play and it felt like it was going to strip the nut when I tried to break it free. Threw my regular 10 mm closed ended wrench on it, to compare, and it broke it loose no problem and was a much tighter fit. Two stars because the tools themselves are solid, the price was fair, and the case was nice. They were returned the next day.

This is a nice wrench set for the tool box. Just make sure you check the sizes in the set to make sure the size you need is there. Needless to say, I needed the 11mm that was not in the set!

Worth 10 Buck's got both sets Time will tell for sure kids in Maine will not be kind to it use as hammer when mad toss it around garage but if they pick it up and clean it up that's when you know I'll edit the review in a bit

Worked exactly as it should, no complaints.
