Overview
Ridgid's 27023 is an open end flare nut wrench that works from two ends, built in chrome vanadium steel and measured in SAE inch sizes. It is a mechanical hand tool with a painted finish.
Gripping more of the nut than a bare open jaw would, this style is what plumbers and brake mechanics reach for. Here the unknown is the pair of sizes, which the page never states.
Who it's for
People servicing brake or fuel fittings who want a dedicated tool in inch sizing. The lifetime warranty text is detailed. A buyer with metric line fittings should choose another tool.
Pros and cons
- Chrome vanadium steel
- Two-in-one double end layout
- Detailed lifetime warranty text
- Torque figure is listed
- Wrench sizes not listed
- Not rated non-sparking
- Painted finish can chip with use
Performance notes
The open end design slips over a line before the wrench seats on the nut, and the wrap-around jaws spread load across more flats of the fitting. Chrome vanadium steel resists the twisting stress of a stuck fitting. The listed torque figure is the rated limit, so a cheater bar should be avoided.
