I have found that all the aluminum wrenches flex (sometimes permanently) and scratch as bad or worse than other methods, that is why I place strapping tape on the mating surfaces of these wrenches.

Nicely polished and chromed tools like Snap-on wrenches tend to be the best as I believe that in addition to the smooth finish, they exhibit no flexing.

i was able to download ,need to find time to read , the precision team and sean have showed me how to do it , but it 's not like i have a done this for a living or have experiance at it...

if i would have known they were a pain in the azz ,i would have just used push ons...but , i bought the majority of the fittings better than 2 years ago..

all the big power boats here , that's what they use ,but ,seeing this will be my only power i wanted the stainless...


live and learn....

These guy's are super intelligent, actually are astronomers.
Maybe I shouldn't give away what I have been spending years studying. This goes for the fuel research too.
If it wasn't for the other guy's on here, and some are chemical engineers, I wouldn't have been learning as much either. So I have to put something back in the well of knowledge, and I hope I can ever more gain when I need it, or better yet, before I need it. BBB
