Wheel Brace 16in Folding Cross Wrench 17/19/21mm 1/2in Drive

A foldable cross wheel brace for loosening and tightening wheel nuts when changing a wheel or carrying out routine vehicle maintenance. The 16in design gives the familiar cross wrench layout while breaking down into separate parts for easier storage in the boot, garage or workshop.

Used for roadside wheel changes, seasonal tyre swaps, servicing and general garage work, this type of wheel brace suits drivers, home mechanics and anyone keeping basic emergency tools in the car. The three common socket sizes help cover a range of wheel nuts, while the 1/2in drive end also gives added flexibility when working with compatible sockets or on related workshop tasks.

The wrench comes in five parts with four individual arms and a central hub, so it can be assembled when needed and packed away again without taking up the space of a fixed cross wrench. The supplied size options are 17mm, 19mm and 21mm, covering common wheel nut sizes found on many vehicles. The arms can also be used alone or with a 14mm spanner or socket, which can be useful where access or leverage needs vary. For regular motoring use, the foldable layout helps keep the right wheel tool close to hand without cluttering the boot.
