Details

Quickly Remove Axle Nuts

Impact sockets are ideal for quickly and safely removing and replacing axle nuts. This set contains sockets for servicing both 6- and 12-point axle nuts.

Two Size Markings

Two Size Markings

The size is marked in two ways on every socket—both as a high-visibility laser marking and a permanent stamped marking.

Deep Length for Greater Reach

Deep Length for Greater Reach

  • The deep length socket can reach into wells to access axle nuts without the use of an impact extension, which could reduce torque.
  • The interior well extends far into the socket, providing ample room for the axle nut and spindle.

Sockets work for both types of anvils found on 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches:

Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to the axle nut’s flat sides rather than its corners.

Sockets Exceed ANSI Torque Standards

Sockets Exceed ANSI Torque Standards

Each socket size meets a minimum of 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME standard for proof torque.

(A single-cycle test applies torque until a specified value is reached without failure or permanent deformation.)
