line wrench
a line wrench is a special type of wrench designed especially for loosening pipe and cable fittings. resembling a combination between a box - end and open - end wrench. this wrench design grips the nut on more edges, so you can apply more force to either loosen or tighten.
line wrenches are commonly used to loosen/tighten brake, power steering, transmission,engine oil cooler line fittings and cable ends. an open end wrench should not be used to initially loosen these types of connections, because the risk of slipping and damaging the fitting is considerable.
