🔍 Key Concepts

• Flare nut wrench design – why it has a slot and what type of nuts it is meant to grip • Differences between open-end, box, and slugging wrenches • How much of the nut the wrench surrounds for maximum contact and reduced rounding of corners

💭 Think About

• Think about which wrench type normally makes contact with the nut on almost all sides and then imagine cutting a small opening into it. • Consider why a flare nut wrench is preferred for soft metal tubing fittings (like brake or fuel lines) instead of a standard open‑end wrench. • Ask yourself: which choice describes a wrench that nearly encircles the nut, improving grip compared to an open‑end wrench?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which wrench style mostly surrounds the nut rather than contacting just two faces. • Confirm which wrench is commonly used on tubing or line fittings where you must slip the wrench over the tube. • Eliminate any wrench types whose main purpose is impact/striking or for dogs/dogging mechanisms, not precision fitting on small nuts.
