The 'five-flat' thing is a flare nut wrench. Designed to be as close to a
box-end as possible and still slip over a brake line (or other tube). Keeps
from stripping one of those, because they're such a pain in the toches to
replace.
BTW, I use a box-end wrench for bleeder screws. Am I missing something?

...The five flat type of
wrench mentioned above I have some of, mostly in smaller sizes, and they're
handy for doing B-nuts (no pun intended) and bleeder screws (easy to round
off). What are those called, anyway?
