The AB Tools 15mm and 17mm Flare Nut Spanner is a specialized tool designed for automotive technicians, HVAC specialists, and DIY enthusiasts who work with hydraulic and fuel lines. This dual-size wrench provides the necessary leverage and secure grip required for delicate fittings on brake pipes and gas systems without stripping the hardware. While its specialized design is perfect for confined spaces, users should note that its non-adjustable nature means it is limited to these two specific metric sizes.

Yes, it is made of chrome vanadium steel, but it is primarily designed for pipe fittings which often require finesse rather than excessive force.
No, this tool is precision-engineered for 15mm and 17mm metric fasteners and should not be used on imperial sizes to avoid slipping and damage.
The 12-point configuration allows the spanner to engage the fastener at more frequent intervals, which is critical when you have very little room to swing the handle.
AB Tools offers professional-grade standards, but you should check with the specific retailer regarding the return and warranty policy.
Keep it clean of harsh chemicals and avoid dropping it on concrete, as impacts can cause the chrome plating to chip or flake.
Ensure the pipe is not bent or distorted; check if the fitting nut is obstructed by debris and clear it before attachment.
Verify that you are using the correct size (15mm or 17mm) and that the wrench is fully seated against the base of the nut.
Clean the surface with a fine abrasive pad, wipe with a rust-inhibitor oil, and ensure dry storage in the future.
To use this spanner, simply slide the open portion of the jaw over the pipe and seat the wrench head firmly onto the fitting nut. Ensure the spanner is flush against the fitting to maximize the contact area of the 12-point design.
