The Britool Hallmark Extra Long Flexi Ratchet Ring Spanner Range offers professional performance where additional reach, leverage and access are required. Available individually in sizes 8mm to 19mm, these spanners are taken from the Britool Hallmark RRXLFSET12 12-piece set.

Designed specifically for automotive, aviation, mechanical and restricted-access applications, the extra-long beam provides increased reach and leverage compared with a conventional-length spanner.

Each tool combines a non-ratcheting ring end for applying higher initial loosening torque with a flexible 72-tooth ratcheting ring at the opposite end for fast and efficient operation once the fastener has been released.

The fine-tooth ratchet mechanism requires only 5° of movement, making these spanners particularly effective around engines, transmissions and other confined areas where there may be insufficient room to operate a conventional spanner.

The complete 8-19mm range can also be purchased as the RRXLFSET12 12-Piece Extra Long Flexi Ratchet Ring Spanner Set, supplied in professional tool control EVA foam.

Extra Long Design for Increased Leverage

The extended beam provides additional leverage compared with a conventional-length spanner, making the range particularly useful when working with stubborn fasteners or components positioned deep within machinery and vehicle assemblies.

The non-ratcheting end should be used for initially loosening stubborn fasteners, allowing the increased leverage of the extra-long beam to be used effectively.

Once the fastener has been released, the 72-tooth ratcheting end allows it to be turned quickly and efficiently without repeatedly removing and repositioning the spanner.

This combination makes the range particularly useful for professional mechanics and engineers carrying out repetitive maintenance and repair work.

72-Tooth Ratchet Mechanism

The flexible ratchet ring incorporates a 72-tooth mechanism requiring only a 5° working arc.

A small operating angle is especially valuable in confined spaces where surrounding components restrict the amount of movement available to the spanner.

Combined with the 0° offset and flexible head, the design provides excellent accessibility around obstructions and difficult-to-reach fasteners.

Automotive, Aviation & Engineering Applications

These extra-long flexi ratchet spanners are particularly suited to applications where conventional-length fixed spanners provide insufficient access or leverage.

Typical professional applications include:

  • Automotive engine repairs
  • Engine bay maintenance
  • Transmission and gearbox work
  • Vehicle servicing
  • Aviation maintenance
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Machinery servicing
  • Professional garages
  • Automotive workshops
  • Restricted-access fastening
  • General maintenance and repair

The combination of extra length, flexible head and fine 5° ratchet action makes the range particularly useful for working deep within engine bays and mechanical assemblies.

Heat-Treated Chrome Vanadium Steel

Each spanner is manufactured from heat-treated Chrome Vanadium steel, providing the strength and durability required for demanding professional hand-tool applications.

The tools are laser etched with the modern Britool "The Marque of Skill" branding together with the Hallmark markings, individual part reference and spanner size, allowing quick identification in a professional workshop.

Complete RRXLFSET12 Set Available

For mechanics and workshops requiring the complete range, these individual spanners are also available together as:

RRXLFSET12 – Britool Hallmark 12-Piece Extra Long Flexi Ratchet Ring Spanner Set

The complete set contains:

8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19mm

The 12-piece version is supplied in a tool control EVA foam tray, providing organised storage and rapid tool identification within a toolbox or roll cab drawer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Britool Hallmark Extra Long Flexi Ratchet Ring Spanners used for?
These Britool Hallmark extra-long flexi ratchet spanners are designed for professional automotive, aviation, mechanical and engineering work where additional reach, leverage and restricted-access capability are required. They are particularly useful for engine bays, transmissions, gearboxes, machinery and deeply positioned fasteners where a standard-length spanner can be difficult to use.
What sizes are available in the Britool Hallmark extra-long flexi ratchet spanner range?
Individual metric spanners are available in 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm and 19mm. The complete 8–19mm range is also available as the Britool Hallmark RRXLFSET12 12-piece extra-long flexi ratchet ring spanner set, supplied in tool control EVA foam.
Why does the Britool Hallmark flexi ratchet spanner have a 72-tooth mechanism?
The 72-tooth ratchet mechanism requires only 5° of handle movement to operate. This small working arc is particularly useful for UK automotive technicians, mechanics and engineers working in confined spaces where surrounding engine, transmission or machinery components prevent a conventional spanner from being moved through a larger arc.
What is the advantage of an extra-long flexi ratchet ring spanner?
The extra-long beam provides greater reach and leverage, while the flexible ratchet head helps access fasteners positioned at awkward angles. The 0° offset profile further assists access in restricted areas. Together, these features make the spanners particularly suitable for professional vehicle servicing, engine repairs, aviation maintenance and mechanical engineering.
Can I use the ratchet end to loosen very tight or seized fasteners?
For stubborn or high-torque fasteners, the non-ratcheting ring end should be used for the initial loosening operation. Once the fastener has been released, the flexible 72-tooth ratcheting end can then be used for faster removal. This helps protect the ratchet mechanism while taking advantage of the additional leverage provided by the extra-long spanner.
