[James Coyne]

You could also wrap the adjustable wrench and the fitting with tape to provide even more protection of the anodized finsh.

They all seem to be aluminum, but I think they can still scratch the anodizing.  There are adjustable "crescent" type wrenches with wide surfaces that look like they may be better:

Then a good pair of vice jaws:

Just wondering if anyone has experience with similar tools.
