very dope and great. didn't have an 18mm flare nut wrench and neither did any of my local hardware stores. I needed this one asap cuz i already removed the other end of the line from the power steering pump as it was 5/8ths (16mm) I was gonna just buy the individual 18mm but i couldn't find one with next day shipping. I work in a shop so I'm sure the other's will find a use someday. wish they came in an organizer, they just shipped in a box. I bought much cheaper sets that came in an organizer. now I will have to spend $3 on one god help me !

Definitely nice to have in the box if you do any brake line work or anything like that. Seem to be built well and I like that they are polished.

I have other cheaper sets of flare nut wrenches/line wrenches but I was really unhappy with them. Most cheap sets have thin handles and heads which causes nuts to be way more likely to strip and on the handle side half of them dig deep into your knuckles and hurt to use by the time you're finishing a brake line job. First time I used these I managed to pretty easily swap out a brake soft line that I was almost positive would turn into also doing a hard line job due to the amount of rust on the hardware. The flex feature I wasn't really sold on, but it actually works pretty well. I haven't busted a knuckle yet due to it flexing instead of going the direction I want it to.

These are not thin - just remember that, but they are very good quality

It's a decent set for the money but if you want true precision and better angles or are used to using Snap-on line wrenches this set might disappoint you.

If you turn wrenches for a living, a set of flare nut wrenches or crows foot can get you out of some tough situations easily. This set of Gearwrench flare nut wrenches does you one better by adding a flex head to each end of the wrenches. Some folks prefer the fixed head version of these wrenches due to their dislike of flex head wrenches but I haven't had any issues with them. In fact the flex head design gives the tool a greater versatility when working in areas that are restricted, such as working on brake lines and small hydraulic fittings where many times, a straight wrench simply will not access. The finish and overall quality of these wrenches are good and this set covers all of the sizes of line fittings I have dealt with. The flex heads have enough friction to keep the heads from flopping around on you and the case that comes with this set is perfect for sticking straight into the tool box drawer to help keep you organized. This set is well worth the investment and Will save you lots of frustration from rounding off small fittings.

These wrenches are an absolute time saver. After using non flex line wrenches, and crows foot line wrenches for years, struggling with those hard to reach power steering lines on racks, transmission cooler lines, etc, I finally decided to get these. I couldn't justify Snap On prices, but I've used enough Gearwrench wrenches, I figured these would be good enough.And they are good enough. They definitely have a sloppier fit than more expensive wrenches like Snapon, but not as bad as really cheap wrenches. The flex action is nice and smooth and allows extreme angles that will save your butt countless times. For example I did a rack on a Cadillac Northstar before I bought these, and then a few weeks later, did the power steering lines on another Northstar. Removing the lines from the rack without the flex wrenches was such a pain, and wasted more of my time than I'd like to admit, having to remove more things than I'd like to loosen the lines. With this flex wrench I didn't have to remove anything around the rack, and released the line from the rack in a few seconds. Money well spent!So the quality seems what you would expect from a nice tool made overseas. It's not stellar, but it's adequate. The finish on the wrenches is very nice, smoothly polished. The flex joints are not consistent between wrenches, some loose, some tight. I suspect these, like other similar flex wrenches, will fail eventually at the flex joint. But luckily most people, myself included, do not use these on a daily basis, more like every couple weeks. So I suspect they will last for a long time at that level of use.They are a little long when compared to your average flare nut wrench. This is good for leverage, but even with the flex joints can sometimes be a little to long for the space you have. Keep that in mind before you going throwing away your old Craftsman line wrenches. The wrenches are comfortable, easy to use, look great, and save tons of time and aggravation.
