I would strongly suggest buying a flare nut wrench that says Snap-On on it…nothing else I’ve used fits and works as well.
I borrowed a neighbor's Snap-On flare nut wrench. It doesn't fit much better than the Craftsman ones I just got.
When you use them every day you'll find that the Snap-on just works...it's a rare occasion where a tube nut becomes damaged. My 11mm gets daily use on brake lines....cannot remember the last time a tube nut with an 11mm hex sustained damage due to the tool.
I recently spread my somewhat rarely used Craftsman 3/8" flare nut wrench when I was working on a crossover pipe on a set of Ford Mustang calipers....Snap on guy was nowhere to be found so I ordered a Proto from McMaster...relatively top shelf brand IMO...it's garbage.
Ordered a Snap-On and all is well again.
