Snap-On line wrenches. Which style?

[JAKE-THE-TOOL-MAN]

I have both snapon versions in metric and sae, I prefer the open end/flare option

I like buying the sizes you need not the whole set.

Snap-on prices their sets, at least at retail, for close to the prices onesie twosie.

I try to find as much as I can at garage/estate sales… then, occasionally, I fill in sets off the truck when one is on a job site that I’m on.

Really, I rarely do that. I don’t really care if my sets match. Very few of my sets are the same brand from end to end.

Snap-on flare nut wrench sets are an exception. I believe that they are worth it. I bought my flare nut wrench sets off the truck.

I don't see why a choice between the two needs to be made.

GET BOTH.

Sometimes you want/need to have an open-end flank drive AND the line wrench end at your disposal. Best to get this all in a single wrench to minimize how many tools you bring with you.

Other times you only want/need line wrenches, no need for open ended wrenches.

Getting both is a no brainer.

Get two of each just in case you got to hold down one side with the same size flare nut as the other. It’s only money

Now, that's something to think about.
