Applications

The Lock Technology LT1250-DT is an essential tool for automotive professionals, particularly those involved in tire service and vehicle maintenance. It is primarily used for the safe and efficient removal of damaged 19mm lug nuts with swollen or missing chrome caps, frequently encountered on various GM and Chrysler models. The 18.5mm side accommodates lug nuts where the chrome cap has detached, exposing a smaller lug nut, while the 19.5mm side is ideal for lug nuts with distorted or swollen caps. This tool is also valuable for working on specific Honda, Acura, and some Toyota applications, as well as aftermarket tuner wheels and select European vehicles where these "half-sizes" are encountered.
