Source for large flare nut/ line wrenches?

Tags · Jul 29, 2011

Didn't know where to put this but figured someone here may know. I'm looking for a set of flare nut/ line wrenches from 1" to 2" for removing hydraulic lines on my equipment and cant seem to find any suppliers, any help would be greatly appreciated.

As close as hoses are on a manifold I wouldn't trust a 1 1/2" flare nut wrench that was thin enough to fit between fittings.

Biggest one that I know of is 1-1/8" from Snap-On.

And don't even bother with those ratcheting wrenches - for hydraulics anyway.

That's amazing! The 3-1/8" wrench is good for 167 ft. lbs. of torque (wouldn't touch most of the fittings I've dealt with), and it's only $182.00. What a buy!:thumbsup:

Just buy the complete set. :licking:
