A flare nut wrench is configured to minimize the possibility of the flare nut wrench slipping by having the socket of the wrench pivoted to a base portion at a point in spaced relation to a prong extending from the base portion. The prong has a prong face thereon, which engages an external face on the socket to squeeze the socket about the flare nut when one applies torque to the flare nut by applying force to a handle attached to the base. By squeezing the socket wrench about the flare nut, the tendency of the socket to slip and round off the flare nut is counteracted by the force applied to the socket by the prong.
