just wondering if i really need to spend money on AN wrenches for AN (earl's, russell, etc) fittings. do regular open ended wrenches round the edges?

 

the wrenches are made from aluminum so as not to mark-up the fittings. you can use whatever though.

 

ive never used them but always plan on buying a set.

 

Little electrical tape arund an adjustable wrench should do the trick, I do plan on picking up the set from Summit though.

 

plus one i just put tape on the wrench

i use whatever makes it turn.. from regular to locking wrenches, cheap adjustable wrenches always come loose as you apply more force.

 

When I install the hose ends I always install the rubber guards on the vice and wrap the adjustable wrench with tape. On the motor/vehicle I use dual adjustable wrenches wrapped in tape.

 

Electrical tape on the fitting.

If I cared.

 

very nice

 

If you are going to be using AN fittings on your car, its good to invest in the wrenches. You dont want to mess up the look of the fittings in the long run.

 

i use knipex pliers... flat jawed aluminum pliers that are adjustable. never had a problem

 

i just use adjustable wrenchs works like a charm

 

+1 tape on the Mexican socket set.

Or if you don't care and have redone your oil drain 3 times in two weeks you just go commando and scratch the **** out of em

 

I have a set, they are fantastic, and they really save the anodized finish on the fittings.

 

adjustable wrenchs with electrical tape on them ftw

 

My braided lines are there for function not form; so I use a normal spanner like a real man

 

just a couple all/16ths wrenches and some electrical tape here
