• Dimensions: 9 x 1.25 x 1.25 inches

Key Features

• Pre-Calibrated Torque Limit: Factory-set at 80 ft/lb to prevent over-tightening of fasteners.
• Integrated Torque Limiting Mechanism: Designed to flex and absorb excess rotational force once the designated torque is reached.
• 21mm Socket Size: A common size optimized for various automotive applications, including many vehicle lug nuts.
• 1/2-inch Drive Compatibility: Easily attaches to standard 1/2-inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the demands of repetitive impact use in professional and DIY settings.

Applications

This torque limiting socket is specifically engineered for precise fastener tightening in automotive and other mechanical fields.

• Wheel Installation: Ensures lug nuts are tightened to vehicle manufacturer specifications, particularly for wheels requiring an 80 ft/lb torque.
• Tire Service: Ideal for preventing over-tightening of lug nuts during tire changes or rotations.
• General Fastener Torque: Suitable for any application where a consistent 80 ft/lb torque value is critical to prevent damage or ensure safety.
• Professional Workshops: A valuable tool for mechanics seeking consistent and accurate torque application without manual torque wrench verification.

Benefits

• Prevents Over-tightening: Safeguards wheel studs, brake rotors, and expensive alloy wheels from damage caused by excessive torque.
• Enhances Safety: Ensures fasteners are secured to the correct specification, reducing the risk of loose wheels or component failure.
• Boosts Efficiency: Streamlines the tightening process by eliminating the need for a separate torque wrench after initial impact tightening.
• Extends Equipment Life: By preventing torque overload, it helps preserve the longevity of impact wrenches and related tooling.
• Delivers Consistent Results: Provides reliable and accurate torque application every time, promoting uniformity in maintenance and repair tasks.
