As far as a "brake line wrench", what's the difference? 3 of the 4 came off no sweat with the properly sized box wrench. But the RF was fused on way too tightly! It rounded when I was trying to break it open, so I had to resort to pliers to get grip on it.

OK, we will do brakes...
Open end wrenches were invented as a conspiracy between nut and bolt manufacturers and first aid supply manufacturers. They should never be used on actual nuts and bolts. Only box end, sockets, and brake line wrenches should ever be used. Oh, and vice grips
Brake line wrenches are just 6 point box ends with one side missing. Brake lines are supposed to be tight. the other three were probably not tight enough. only the one you couldn't do with a open end was tight enough to start with.
You should be able to get a set of english and metric line wrenches for under $10 a set, and they will be a great addition to your tool box.
