Final answer:

Technician B is correct. Crescent wrenches are adjustable wrenches that can grip a wide range of fasteners, while line wrenches are specifically designed for brake fittings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Technician B is correct.

Crescent wrenches are adjustable wrenches with a smooth jaw that can be used to grip a wide range of fasteners. They are not specifically designed to save time going back and forth to the toolbox. On the other hand, line wrenches are specially designed wrenches with a closed-end that can grip brake fittings securely without rounding off the fastener.

Therefore, when taking apart brake fittings, technician B's statement that line wrenches are used is accurate.
