    6-Point Lug Nut-Holding Impact Sockets

    Move from lug nut to lug nut with the speed of a racecar pit crew. Up to five standard 6-point lug nuts stack up in the shank of these sockets, so you don’t have to stop to take the lug nuts out of the socket. With thicker walls and more give than standard sockets, these sockets can withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

    Socket

    Tighten or loosen nuts and bolts without damaging the finish. The tough steel core of the socket withstands the high torque of impact tools, but the insert and outer sleeve are made of plastic, which won’t scratch chrome plating and other coatings. The hex shape achieves the best possible grip on hex fasteners to prevent rounding their points.

    Wheel Bearing Locknut Socket Sets

    Shaped and sized for compatibility with wheel bearing locknuts on trucks and trailers, the sockets in these sets make it easy to install and remove locknuts. They ensure the proper torque setting when you reinstall a locknut on your wheel, so you know it's safe and secure. These are square drive sockets for use with hand-driven tools, not impact wrenches. Made of steel, they grip locknuts tightly and prevent rounding.

    Retaining Rings

    Remove and install dual wheels on trucks and trailers with the sockets in these sets. The sockets are extra deep for use with Budd wheels, so you can remove both the nut and the stud with a single socket. Sets include sockets for hex drives to access lug nuts and sockets for square drives to turn the threaded shafts on inner wheels. All are impact sockets, made to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools. Use them with an impact wrench that has a pin-style socket retainer, or use a socket retaining ring with tools that have a hole- or hole-and-ring-style socket retainer.

    Remove and install dual wheels on trucks and trailers—these sockets have a hex recess for accessing lug nuts and a square recess to turn the threaded shafts found on inner wheels. They are made to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.
    Sockets require a locking retainer. Use with an impact wrench that has a pin-style socket retainer, or use a socket retaining ring with tools that have a hole- or hole-and-ring style socket retainer.
