Flare Nut Spanner 16 x 18mm Flexible Extra Long 380mm

A flare nut spanner made for awkward fittings where a standard spanner does not sit properly on the nut. The extra long 380mm body, flexible design and double ended 16mm and 18mm sizes make it a practical choice for reaching brake pipe fittings, unions and other restricted fasteners.

Used for vehicle maintenance, servicing and garage work, this type of flare nut spanner is especially handy when working in tight engine bays or around pipe fittings blocked by nearby components. Mechanics, workshops and DIY users can use it when access is limited and a normal spanner will not line up cleanly on the fitting. It is well suited to jobs involving brake lines and awkward unions where a steadier hold and a better working angle help get the fitting moving.

The chrome vanadium construction makes it suitable for regular workshop use, while the 6 point flare nut ends help give a more secure grip on the fitting. With 16mm at one end and 18mm at the other, it covers two common sizes in one tool, which is useful when moving between jobs or working on different unions. The flexible style helps you work around surrounding parts without stripping everything back first, and the 380mm length gives extra reach into recessed areas as well as added leverage compared with a shorter wrench. For regular maintenance work, it helps avoid switching between tools when either of these sizes is needed.
