GEARWRENCH 6 Pc. Flare Nut Wrench Set, SAE - 81907

Bought this to bleed the rear brake caliper on the BMW G310R. Works great, far easier than trying to remove the muffler which is blocking access to the bleeder on the rear caliper.

Use the wrenches the day I got them. Worked great

Tool works great

Just the wrench I needed to finish changing my steering box on my TJ. Very quick service

The wrenches seem to be of good quality, but there was no tray included as was clearly stated in the ad. This was a big disappointmen.

These wrenches are an absolute time saver. After using non flex line wrenches, and crows foot line wrenches for years, struggling with those hard to reach power steering lines on racks, transmission cooler lines, etc, I finally decided to get these. I couldn't justify Snap On prices, but I've used enough Gearwrench wrenches, I figured these would be good enough.And they are good enough. They definitely have a sloppier fit than more expensive wrenches like Snapon, but not as bad as really cheap wrenches. The flex action is nice and smooth and allows extreme angles that will save your butt countless times. For example I did a rack on a Cadillac Northstar before I bought these, and then a few weeks later, did the power steering lines on another Northstar. Removing the lines from the rack without the flex wrenches was such a pain, and wasted more of my time than I'd like to admit, having to remove more things than I'd like to loosen the lines. With this flex wrench I didn't have to remove anything around the rack, and released the line from the rack in a few seconds. Money well spent!So the quality seems what you would expect from a nice tool made overseas. It's not stellar, but it's adequate. The finish on the wrenches is very nice, smoothly polished. The flex joints are not consistent between wrenches, some loose, some tight. I suspect these, like other similar flex wrenches, will fail eventually at the flex joint. But luckily most people, myself included, do not use these on a daily basis, more like every couple weeks. So I suspect they will last for a long time at that level of use.They are a little long when compared to your average flare nut wrench. This is good for leverage, but even with the flex joints can sometimes be a little to long for the space you have. Keep that in mind before you going throwing away your old Craftsman line wrenches. The wrenches are comfortable, easy to use, look great, and save tons of time and aggravation.

The pivoting hinge of one of the wrenches started opening up with only moderate force. It also felt like the actual wrench end was spreading open too. But I stopped putting any force on it when I could feel the pivot getting loose. And this was just tightening, not trying to break loose anything stuck. It was in a very hard to reach spot that normally requires loosing the whole m/c bracket assy to get the flare nuts tight. I was hoping these would save me a few steps. Kind of bummed about them being so weak. I know everything is made cheaply in China now, but these are much weaker than I would have expected from Gearwrench. I still have some of their stuff from the late 90s. But these are bound to break eventually so I returned them.

This is a good little set to add to your collection, at the right price, and not bad looking. I bought to replace very old Chinese mismatched junk. I don't use SAE all that often, mostly metric, so I couldn't really justify tool truck prices. And while these wrenches are also China/Taiwan, they are much nicer than your average Chinese counterpart. As with most Gearwrench stuff, it is very nice for overseas built tools.The machining is pretty nice, so the fit on lines in not horribly sloppy like other cheap line wrenches. It's not perfect, and certainly doesn't fit like a Snap On wrench, but this whole set cost less than one Snap On, so I'm ok with the fit. They fit better than some old Craftsman Chinese made line wrenches I had. Plus they look great, which is important to me. The nice smooth finish makes them easy to clean too. The sizes are clearly marked and easy to read.I wouldn't say there is any real negative thing about this set, for the price that is, but... They aren't very long. This is great for tight spaces, but leverage can be an issue. Consider adding the Gearwrench flex head line wrenches along with these. I bought the metric set at the same time. They are noticeably longer and flex at each end increasing their usefulness greatly.The offset of the heads is nice, and allows these wrenches to get in places more easily sometimes. Other times, the offset will render this wrench useless, or close to it. Once again, another reason to get the flex head set as well.All in all, great set for the money.

I like gearwrench, their products are well priced and are normally well made and standup to daily use at work like this these. Even shipping them from the US to the UK from Amazon they work out cheaper and are far superior to anything of the same price over here in my opinion.

I was worried these that these wrenches were a bit on the chunky side when they arrived. But then I used the 5/8 and 11/16 on a DPF job with ceased sensors. I was surprised these wrench’s took a lot of torque from reefing on, and I found the offset of the heads to be exactly what I need most of the time. Great set, price & quality are close to the sweet spot, no complaints here. (The set of wrenches on the right side of the drawer in the photo)

I gave it the 4 stars due to the heads being so floppy (as all gear wrench flex heads). I couldn't find locking ones at the time, but these will have to do.

These wrench are extremely thick, because low quality steel was used so expect them to be very thick and don't fit in all areas. But if you have a lot of room the tool will do the job. If you looking for a cheap tool it will work.

The flex head will get loose and wobble left and right without resistance, effectively making the tool useless.And this is after the first use.The fit is just okay.
