Flare Nut Wrench for Brake Lines
The fittings on brake lines are often made of brass or a similarly soft metal. When you use a standard open-end wrench, you cannot always get the torque you need to tighten or loosen a nut. The wrong wrench can slide loose and grind against the fitting's threads. The result is often stripped threads, which are caused by the surface of the wrench grinding against the malleable metal surface of the fitting.
A line wrench - also called a flare nut wrench - is generally thicker to provide more surface contact than other wrenches for a more secure grip on the nut. This way, you can apply more force to twist the nut more easily. Easier, more efficient twisting helps reduce your chances of stripping and destroying the threads.
To use a line wrench, just slip it over the brake line and slide it onto the fitting. Position it around the nut and you're good to go.
Two line wrenches are included with this set. Each wrench has 2 differently sized ends so you'll get a precise fit. One wrench has ends designed to fit 1/4" and 5/16" nuts and fittings. The other wrench has ends that fit 3/8" and 7/16" nuts and fittings.

This Kodiak wrench set also includes a combination wrench that you can use for a variety of household, biking, and automotive applications. This double-ended tool has a standard open-end wrench on one side and a box-end wrench on the other side.

Ordered replacement brake kits for my boat trailer. I received great support from E-trailers' tech staff in making sure I ordered the correct parts. The parts arrived a day earlier than I was told and they bolted on with no problems. It was a great solution to replacing the brakes on my 20 year old boat trailer. I have ordered several parts from E-trailer and I have always received excellent service. I highly recommend them! 228885
