<VV> Flare nut wrenchs

[Rick Norris]

Time for a little more edumacation!
They are called  Vise GripR, a registered trademark spelled VISE with an S
not "vice" with a C  which, means something entirely different. Then again,
it might be the correct spelling if you are talking about your favorite
"love hold"!

Time for a little education.   There are Vice-Grips and Vice-Grips.   What 
commonly come to everyone's mind with the term Vice-Grip is the Vice Grip
Pliers . . . they tend to make quick work of rounding off the points from
any hexagonal fastener.  The lesser known are the Vice Grip Wrench.  These
have one V shaped jaw that clamps to the flats of a Hexagonal fastener and
are clamped tight by 
the opposing jaw.   These work especially well on brake and fuel lines
because 
the clamping action slightly tweeks the fitting helping it to brake loose
from any corrosion.  My set of Vice Grip Wrenches gets most of the fittings
that stump my flare wrench set.
