long hex on this fitting, what’s that actually do for me when im putting brake lines together?

With the long hex body, you get more wrench clearance and better tool engagement, so it’s easier to tighten or break loose compared to a standard hex, especially when you’re working in tight-access spots.

Long hex on this one, does that actually make a difference when you're workin in a tight spot, or is it more of a marketing thing?

The extra hex length gives your wrench more to bite onto, which matters a lot when you're dealing with cramped engine bays or brake line runs that don't give you much room to maneuver. Standard hex fittings can slip or be tough to torque properly in those situations. The longer body just makes tool engagement more solid and reduces the chance of rounding it off during install or removal.

What size wrench do I need for this fitting, if it's got that long hex on it?

The long hex design on this fitting gives you extra room for your wrench, especially useful in those tight spots where a standard hex fitting might be a pain to get to.
