Will,

Sears will have these - they are called flare nut wrenches. A pretty
common item. I got some this summer and use them all the time on brake
and fuel lines. You really only need to use the flare wrench to loosen
the nut or do the final tightening. Otherwise they can be cumbersome in
tight quarters (where a normal open end wrench works fine as long as you
are not putting anything but the very lightest tourque on the nut).

At least that's my opinion...
