See above.

I agree on old stuff, but a 2-3 year old car should not have that issue, and open ends will definitely round the soft flare nuts long before a line wrench will. On the old stuff, sometimes a pair of good vice grips is the only way to go short of cutting and reflaring as you suggested. Having the right tools in the first place minimizes the likelyhood of mangleing anything.
