dcrage 620 #2 Posted March 27, 2017 The first one is a wrench to use on plumbing fixtures where you can't reach with a normal wrench. For instance where water is attached to the faucet of a bathroom sink. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #4 Posted March 27, 2017 I know what they are, and I have used both tools! As for the flare tool...there is usually another piece with it to hold the brass, steel tubing while you tighten down the point to make the flare. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
