The problem is that the single piece cost at Sears is
outrageous (as it is at any other tool shop, for that
matter.)  For more reasonable unit prices, you need to
get the set.  I think the Sears set of flare-nut wrenches
is a 3-piece set that includes, I think, 5/16"x3/8",
7/16"x1/2", 9/16"x5/8" wrenches for about $13.95.  If you
need two of the three wrenches, you'll save $ by buying
the set.
