these wrenches should always be used for any brass nut, the problem isn't
design/material quality, they are brass by design (corrosion resistant) and
therefore soft (as the software companies often reply to our complaints:
"that's a feature, not a bug")
you should get one of these wrenches to fit all your hydraulic tubing/hose
nuts as they're all likely to be brass
