AN wrenches recommendations?

Need some AN wrenches. I’m not trying to ball out on a set of wrenches, but not trying to cheap out either. I’m doing my fuel system currently. What do you guys recommend?

Blue painters tape and a normal wrench, bam, no marring.

I always used a piece of duct tape, just so it'd stick better. Works great.
Or just don't bother - if it's not a show car, who cares?

Yeah I’ve personally never used tape but my only AN experience is on a 1986 Winnebago. Certainly doesn’t have to look good.

I always just buy the black AN fittings, too - I hate the look of the red & blue ones - and if I mar the finish up, a sharpie or black paint pen fixes it well enough.
I build my shit to drive, not win awards at shows lol.

Do you know anyone with a 3d printer? If so have them print you a couple adjustable wrenches.

Look what I found on Speedway Motors: https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Aluminum-AN-Wrench-Set-and-Bench-Vise-Fitting-Holding-Fixture,491160.html?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share&utm_content=a95a939b-70a6-4b46-b676-9865cd087db5
The vise fixture is worth it if you are building up linesets.
Then you don’t have to use your knee and slip and scar.

I recommend you buy some that meet your budget and needs that has a decent review…

There’s a guy who sells CNC machined ones on eBay. They were cheap and adequate.

I just used regular wrenches for a long time without issue. I recently picked up a set of Summit Racing branded ones and they look cool and the shorter length I'm sure helps not over-tighten but not strictly necessary.

I got mine off eBay.
