    4-Pin

    For easy tightening and loosening, these sockets have pins that grip the slotted sides on bearing nuts. These sockets require less clearance around bearings than standard hook spanner wrenches, so they’re good in tight spaces. Use them with a square-drive wrench handle or a ratchet wrench; they’re not for use with impact wrenches.
