| I have not had any issues using GOOD AN wrenches to assemble fittings. Yes they get more difficult as the size goes up. But yes I have also used an adjustable with duct tape. Also I use the vice jaws designed for AN fittings.

| Agreed. The AN fitting magnetic aluminum vise jaw inserts are what I use. I’m a wimp and have all I can do to get these together. I use WD-40 for the lube. |

| I have one of these I got cheap and it is a big help in getting the hose into fitting with out losing blood. But then TomR will have to use some other kind of lubricant other than blood now. https://www.gstpautoparts.com/...t3qfdTBoCZykQAvD_BwEhttps://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion |
