Rubber protectors for pliers. I'm doing some FAST Fuel Rails on my SS and don't want to scratch the fittings. Went to Saers today looking for something to use. Found some slip over rubber pieces for pliers & robogrips. Bought a couple pacs of them and a pair of 7" robo grips.
Should look like this when done.

If you can afford it, buy the correct AN wrench for the fitting. They are made of aluminum and fit the fitting perfectly. The anodized coating is pretty tough on those fittings. Pliers are just plain crap for any bolt or nut that you don't want to mess up. Even using a regular open end wrench is better. Just slide it on carefully and don't overtighten.

I'm definitly not afraid to spend $ on tools. 
I just want what is going to work right. I have seen the fittings done and they were all scratched up. I don't want that with mine.

If you're careful enough with a wrench or a crescent you can get by without scratching them to crap. I don't think those tools are necessary just to tighten them a little bit.
