EVIL ENERGY Adjustable AN Fitting Wrench 3AN–16AN – 6061-T6 Aluminum, Black

6061-T6 Aluminum Construction

The EVIL ENERGY AN wrench is manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy.

This material provides a useful combination of low weight, strength, and machinability.

Unlike conventional hardened steel wrenches, an aluminum AN wrench is intended for use with aluminum fitting hexes.

However, aluminum tools can still scratch anodized fittings, especially when the jaws are dirty, improperly adjusted, or allowed to slip.

How to Protect Anodized AN Fittings

For additional cosmetic protection, EVIL ENERGY recommends applying electrical tape to the wrench jaws before use.

This can help reduce direct metal-to-metal contact between the wrench and the fitting.

For best results, keep the jaws clean, adjust them snugly to the fitting, and apply controlled force.

Electrical tape does not guarantee scratch-free installation, and excessive tape thickness may reduce proper jaw engagement.

Four-Surface Contact for Improved Grip

The EVIL ENERGY adjustable wrench is advertised with a four-surface contact design.

This configuration is intended to distribute force across multiple fitting surfaces rather than concentrating the load at a single point.

Proper jaw engagement can help reduce slipping and minimize damage to aluminum fitting hexes.

Always position the wrench fully over the fitting and ensure the adjustable jaw is snug before tightening or loosening.

Compact Curved Handle Design

The EVIL ENERGY wrench measures approximately 7.2 inches long and features a curved handle profile intended to improve comfort and control.

Its compact size makes it convenient for garage toolboxes, portable automotive tool kits, and performance plumbing installations.

EVIL ENERGY Adjustable AN Wrench Dimensions

Measurements are manufacturer-supplied and approximate. The wrench is intended primarily for compatible aluminum AN fitting hexes.

Ideal for Fuel Lines, Oil Coolers, and Performance Plumbing

The EVIL ENERGY adjustable AN wrench can be used on compatible fittings across a wide variety of automotive projects.

Fuel System Installations

Useful for assembling compatible AN hose ends on aftermarket fuel supply and return lines.

Common applications include:

• 8AN fuel system upgrades

• Aftermarket fuel pressure regulator plumbing

• Custom fuel rail connections

• Engine swap fuel line installations

Oil Cooler and Turbocharger Plumbing

AN fittings are frequently used for oil cooler systems and turbocharger oil plumbing.

The adjustable wrench can help with compatible aluminum hose-end connections during installation and servicing.

Transmission Cooler Plumbing

Performance transmission cooler systems often use AN-style hose connections.

A properly sized AN wrench can help assemble and maintain compatible aluminum fittings.

Custom Engine Bay Plumbing

For automotive enthusiasts who regularly build custom fluid systems, one adjustable AN wrench can cover several fitting sizes without requiring a complete collection of dedicated aluminum wrenches.

EVIL ENERGY Adjustable AN Wrench vs. Standard Steel Wrench

Although the EVIL ENERGY wrench is designed for aluminum fittings, it should not be used as a substitute for a torque wrench when a manufacturer specifies an exact tightening torque.

How to Use the EVIL ENERGY Adjustable AN Fitting Wrench

1. Identify the AN fitting size and inspect the fitting hex.

2. Confirm the fitting is made from a compatible material.

3. Adjust the wrench jaws to the appropriate opening.

4. Apply electrical tape to the jaws if additional cosmetic protection is desired.

5. Position the wrench squarely over the fitting hex.

6. Tighten the adjustment until the jaws fit snugly without excessive play.

7. Hold the mating component with a suitable backup wrench where required.

8. Tighten the fitting according to the fitting manufacturer’s instructions.

9. Inspect the fitting for damage and verify proper sealing after assembly.

Important Installation Precautions

• Do not use the wrench on incompatible hardened steel fasteners.

• Do not use excessive force or add a cheater bar to the handle.

• Do not apply force when the jaws are only partially engaged.

• Do not assume every AN fitting uses the same hex dimensions.

• Do not rely on the wrench alone to establish correct fitting torque.

• Do not overtighten AN flare connections in an attempt to stop leaks.

Does This Wrench Fit All Vehicles?

The EVIL ENERGY adjustable AN fitting wrench is a universal automotive tool, not a vehicle-specific replacement part.

It can be used on compatible AN fittings installed on a wide variety of vehicles, including:

• Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette

• Ford Mustang

• Honda Civic and Acura Integra

• Nissan 240SX and Skyline

• Toyota Supra and Lexus IS300

• Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

• Subaru WRX and STI

• Custom LS swaps and racing applications

Compatibility depends on the AN fitting’s hex dimensions and material, not the vehicle’s year, make, or model.
