Lock Technology Orange 80ft/lbs 21mm Wheel Torque Socket (1500B)

The Lock Technology Orange 80ft/lbs 21mm Wheel Torque Socket (1500B) is a specialized tool designed to provide a reliable and accurate method for tightening wheel nuts without the risk of over-torquing. This professional-grade torque-limiting socket works by flexing once it reaches its pre-set torque value, preventing the impact wrench from applying any additional force. This not only protects the wheel studs and nuts from damage but also ensures that the vehicle’s wheels are secured with the correct “clamp load” for safe and proper operation.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Precision Torque Control: Factory-set to a precise 80 ft-lbs (110 N.M), ensuring that every wheel nut is tightened to the recommended specification without needing a separate torque wrench step.
• Damage Prevention: Prevents stripped threads, stretched studs, and damage to brake rotors or wheel hubs by limiting torque.
• Time-Saving Efficiency: Enables a quick, one-step tightening process using an impact wrench without requiring manual torque wrench follow-up.
• Easy Identification: Bright orange color-coding ensures quick recognition in toolboxes.
• Versatile Application: 21mm size makes it compatible with many foreign and domestic cars, light trucks, and SUVs.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Part Number: 1500B
• Torque Rating: 80 ft-lbs (110 N.M)
• Socket Size: 21mm
• Drive Size: 1/2 inch
• Included: One (1) Lock Technology 1500B 80 ft/lbs 21mm Wheel Torque Socket

HOW TO USE:

1. Select the Correct Tool: Use a 1/2-inch drive impact wrench as the torque socket is designed for this size.
2. Attach the Socket: Securely slide the Lock Technology 1500B socket onto the wrench’s anvil.
3. Position on the Wheel Nut: Place the socket firmly onto the wheel nut you need to tighten.
4. Engage the Impact Wrench: Tighten the nut until the socket flexes and stops applying additional torque at 80 ft-lbs.
5. Remove the Tool: Once the process stops, remove the socket and repeat for remaining nuts. No further tightening is required.
