I've made a couple "banjo" wrenches over the years. That's a box-end wrench with s slot cut out so you can slide it over brake and fuel lines onto the coupling nut. They help avoid rounding the nut vs. a regular open-end that only grips two sides.
Super easy to make, worth the effort to avoid damaging those nuts.
That's where the older 6-sided wrenches are better than the
newer 12-sided which kinda can slip around slightly and
cause an old rusty nut to strip out { get round }.
