Laser Tools Alloy Wheel Torsion Socket - 19mm - 8595

This socket features a unique combination of an internal plastic buffer and an external, freely spinning plastic sleeve designed specifically to protect the finish of alloy wheels from scratches and damage during use.

While it will fit steel wheel nuts, its primary benefit is the protection it offers to alloy wheel finishes. For standard steel wheels, a regular impact socket may suffice.

This socket has a 1/2" drive, making it compatible with most standard impact wrenches and ratchets.

Wipe the plastic sleeve with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could degrade the polycarbonate material.

Yes, you can use it with a breaker bar for manual torque application, but its torsion design is optimized for impact wrench use. Always ensure proper seating on the nut.

Please refer to the Laser Tools warranty documentation for specific details. Typically, professional tools have a manufacturer's warranty against defects.

Yes, Laser Tools offers this type of alloy wheel torsion socket in 17mm (Part No. 8594) and 21mm (Part No. 8596), and also as a 3-piece set (Part No. 8593).

Verify the wheel nut size is indeed 19mm. Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the nut and not obstructed by debris.

Inspect the sleeve for damage or excessive wear. Ensure no debris is trapped between the sleeve and the socket body. If damaged, the sleeve may need replacement or the socket retired from service for wheel protection.

While designed for durability, extreme force or improper use can cause damage. Inspect for cracks or deformation. Consider if the impact wrench's torque setting is appropriate for the application. For extended service life, use in conjunction with a torque stick if precise torque is required.
