I've always wondered if something like this existed, turns out they do: https://www.amazon.com/Neiko-Profile-Screwdriver-5-Piece-Construction/dp/B07GNPRRVZ

 

I have a set of the two-sided ones linked above, but I bet these would be a lot thinner.

 

I've got a set of these in my Aviation toolbox.  Good stuff.

oh, i have to get in on this. Sorry OP.

 Map gas along with an angle grinder.

 seriously though, can you get a pair of tin snips on it?

I think we've all been there with that one screw or bolt that is a tiny fraction of an inch of clearance from being easy and thus becomes a huge nightmare.    comes with the territory of working on trucks.

I love vice grips, especially the needle nose ones. They are also great at pinching off rubber fuel line so it won't leak. I'm sure it would work with brake lines too.

I wouldn’t recommend pinching rubber brake lines EVER with ANY kind of clamping too.  In doing so, you are weakening/cracking the rubber, and increasing a chance for a rupture.

The only time would be in a emergency and then I would replace the line after

[derf]

Yeah, I only do that when I'm swapping out the line and I want to keep it from leaking out while I'm dealing with old flare nuts.

This is the only case that I do it.

There was a nice sign we hung outside our conference room when I worked telecom. Still remains one of my favorite expressions:

Just keep in mind, your going to find a lot more headache than an inaccesible screw with an axle swap. This is when the Jeep unleashes it’s wrath
