USAG/Facom Ratcheting Flare-Nut Wrench (260-24)(70A.24)......ratchet action without wrench removal makes this a great tool for use in tight spots and when working with hydraulic, plumbing, refrigeration or HVAC unions. Allows the user to safely tighten line-set fittings without slipping or damage. I personally hate when contractors use water pump pliers or adjustable wrenches to gouge and round the ends of my fittings, especially when working with copper or brass. With a flare wrench (ratcheting or otherwise), torque is applied over all of the fastener flats for optimum drive.
I no longer stock the Facom version although it is available via special order...cost is approx 10-15% higher. The USAG version is identical (see comparison photo) at a lower cost plus the USAG tool has a US warranty.
