[Shop-talk] High end Flare nut wrench sets- and the power of induction!

[eric at megageek.com]

Morning all!

I'm not a snap-on guy, I realize the quality is there, but I normally 
don't need it for the premium it costs.

Last night, I was working on brake lines and some of the nuts were rusted 
on tight.  My normal flare wrenches were actually opening up as I put 
force on them. 

So I'm ready to put serious money on a good set (both metric and SAE), but 
not knowing the top end brands well, which should I look for?

Is Snap-on the way to go?  Is Mac or another brand just as good?  What 
about the gear wrench brand and other ones on Amazon?  (like these OEM 
brand https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07876M87B/ref=psdc_553422_t2_B000V5CZXY  
NOTE, I do NOT want flex head.)

Also, where is a good place to get the wrenches?  If I go Snap-on, do I 
have to find a truck?


BTW, in the end I got to use my induction bolt heater for a stuck on 
bleeder valve.  I couldn't believe how well it worked!  About 4 mins from 
opening the case to putting it back down.  A few minutes to let the nut 
cool, and it just came right off!

No flames, no damage to any of the rubber lines near the nut.  Just 'as 
seen on YouTube' action!
