Product Information

Full details

This guide is for automotive mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing extended reach for wheel nut removal. The key benefit is its 400mm length, allowing access to recessed or difficult-to-reach wheel nuts. A caveat is its specific 33mm size, meaning it's not a universal solution. This tool is an extra-long socket designed for efficient and safe wheel nut servicing.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of this socket's length?

The 400mm length provides extended reach, making it easier to access deeply recessed or hard-to-reach wheel nuts without excessive extensions.

Is this socket suitable for all wheel nuts?

No, this socket is specifically designed for 33mm wheel nuts. It is part of a range of sizes, so ensure you have the correct size for your application.

What type of drive is required?

This socket requires a 3/4" drive ratchet or impact wrench.

What material is the socket made from?

It is manufactured from durable Chrome Molybdenum steel.

How should I clean and maintain the socket?

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and store in a dry place to maintain the phosphate finish and prevent rust.

Can I use this socket with a standard 1/2" drive impact wrench?

No, you must use a 3/4" drive tool. Using adapters can lead to inefficient torque transfer and potential damage to the socket or tool.

What does the phosphate finish do?

The phosphate finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and helps protect the tool.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit wheel nut

Verify the wheel nut is exactly 33mm. This socket is precision-made for that size.

Difficulty applying torque

Ensure a secure connection between the socket, the drive tool, and the wheel nut. Check that your 3/4" drive tool is appropriate for the torque required.

Socket appears to be deforming under pressure

Discontinue use immediately. This may indicate the wrong size nut is being used, or excessive force beyond the tool's design parameters is being applied. Inspect the wheel nut for damage.

Socket shows signs of rust

Although phosphate-coated, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust. Clean affected areas with a wire brush and apply a light coat of oil for protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:
