Flip Socket - 27mm x 27.5mm - CTA Manufacturing Corp.

The CTA Manufacturing Corp. 7304 Flip Socket is engineered for efficiency in professional automotive and industrial settings. This impact-ready tool integrates two frequently encountered wheel service sizes, 27mm and 27.5mm, into a single, robust unit. It enables technicians to quickly transition between original equipment and select aftermarket wheel nuts without the need to swap sockets, streamlining workflow on late-model passenger cars and light trucks.

Key Features

• Dual-Sided Hex Sizes: Offers both 27mm and 27.5mm hex sizes, accommodating a range of lug nuts found on modern passenger cars and light trucks, including both OE and aftermarket wheel hardware.
• Impact-Grade Durability: Manufactured by CTA Manufacturing for sustained use with impact wrenches, featuring solid wall thickness and consistent torque transfer for demanding shop environments.
• Rapid Flip Design: Facilitates quick size changes by simply flipping the socket, eliminating the need to remove and re-attach sockets to the impact gun during tire and suspension jobs.
• Compact Access: Its short overall profile provides improved access in confined areas such as tight wheel wells, around brake assemblies, and near suspension components.
• Secure Fastener Engagement: Precision hex machining ensures a tight fit, reducing the risk of rounding lug nuts and other 27mm / 27.5mm fasteners, supporting accurate and repeatable torque application.
• Enhanced Toolbox Efficiency: Consolidates two essential socket sizes into one tool, reducing clutter in service carts, mobile repair kits, and tire bay setups.

Applications

The CTA 7304 Flip Socket is suited for automotive and light truck wheel service where both 27mm and 27.5mm lug nuts may be encountered. It is an ideal tool for tire rotations, wheel swaps, seasonal tire changeovers, suspension maintenance, and general mechanical repairs involving these specific hex sizes. This flip socket is a valuable addition for tire shops, general repair facilities, fleet maintenance operations, and mobile service vehicles that require quick access to both sizes without carrying additional loose sockets.
