Description

46mm 12-Point Oil Filter Spanner, 390mm Length – VAG Group Applications

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built oil filter spanner engineered specifically for VAG group vehicles (Volkswagen, Audi, and related manufacturers). The 12-point cup design ensures positive engagement with 46mm hex-style filter caps, eliminating slip and rounding that can damage expensive filter housings. The 390mm overall length provides mechanical advantage for secure removal and installation without excessive force.

If you work with a broader range of filter sizes, consider stocking complementary tools such as spiral-drive oil filter wrenches or adjustable strap wrenches to cover additional applications across your customer base.

Application & Value Proposition

This spanner is essential for any shop servicing German vehicles with 46mm filter housings.

The 390mm length strikes the balance between portability and leverage—long enough to work in confined spaces without requiring excessive hand strength.
