Sometimes the flarenut wrenches will flex because it's not entirely closed (you are missing one of the six sides) and a way around that is to just vise grip the wrench like so:

the knipex use this same principle, it actually bites the fitting from 3 sides and the torque you can apply on it is hilariously high. I love my knipex pliers - I have not met a pipe or bolt or nut that stood up against it.
