Ever so often, I take my Craftsman flare wrenches to the vise and close them back up checking with a good new nut. Yes, better wrenches are out there, but the old Craftsman keep on working with a little help every now and then. Another good option is a crows foot flare wrench, they have a lot of material around them and don't seem to spread like a wrench does. I use the 7/16" one I have all the time to break old fittings loose.
