$15 at autozone and they work fine, just don't go crazy or really fast so you don't strip or scratch up your nice AN fittings.

it seems to vary a little by brand. Sometimes a 1" wrench works, sometimes its a little bigger and I have to use an adjustable, and some of the NPT-AN fittings are 15/16"
Best thing to do is use an adjustable. If you're worried about scratching it, wrap the wrench jaws in electric tape.

Summit sells a generic set of AN wrenches for pretty cheap, try looking there.

I did see a nice AN wrench at NDRA/NOPI norwalk, which was basically one BIG AN wrench with cutouts for the popular -4/-6/-8/-10 sizes. The guy ran off before I could ask him where he got it from.

-10 = 5/8"
If you dont have room for a wrench look into a crows foot.

Yes -10 = 5/8" but he wants to know what size open end wrench fits the B nut. I believe it's 15/16 open end or 1".

If you have a good set of Craftsman tools you have the proper size wrench. If you don't have a good set of tools, it's time to buy one.
