This Laser Tools Strut Nut Socket Set is designed for automotive mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who frequently work on European vehicles. Its key benefit is the cut-away profile that allows for easy removal and replacement of strut nuts while holding the strut with a hex key, ensuring proper tightening. A minor caveat is that the hex key itself is not supplied with the set. The set includes five Bi-Hex (12-point) sockets in popular sizes (18mm, 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm), manufactured from durable Chrome Vanadium and supplied on a convenient storage rail.

The set includes five Bi-Hex sockets in the following sizes: 18mm, 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, and 24mm.
The cut-away profile allows a hex key (not supplied) to be inserted through the socket. This enables you to hold the strut stationary while tightening or loosening the strut nut with a torque wrench, ensuring precise control and preventing the strut from spinning.
No, the hex key required to hold the strut is not supplied with this set. You will need to provide your own appropriate size hex key.
The sockets are manufactured from high-quality Chrome Vanadium steel, known for its strength and durability.
These are 1/2" drive sockets, compatible with standard 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches.
The set is designed for common strut nut sizes found on most European vehicles. It is always recommended to check your vehicle's specific requirements before purchase.
The set comes supplied on a socket rail for convenient and organized storage.
Verify that you are using the correct size socket for the strut nut. Ensure the strut nut is not damaged or stripped. Check that the socket itself is not damaged.
Ensure you are using the correct size hex key compatible with your vehicle's strut. The socket opening is designed for specific hex key sizes; consult your vehicle's service manual if unsure.
Apply steady, even pressure. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the nut. If the nut is already damaged, consider using a specialized nut remover before attempting to loosen it with this set.
Ensure you are using a standard 1/2" drive torque wrench. Check that the drive square on both the socket and the wrench is clean and free from obstruction.
Setup: No complex setup is required. Select the appropriate socket size for the strut nut. Insert the socket onto your 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench. Insert the correct size hex key (not supplied) through the cut-away section of the socket to engage with the strut. Ensure the hex key is held firmly to prevent the strut from rotating.
Compatibility: This set is designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches. The socket sizes (18mm, 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm) are specifically chosen to fit common strut nut applications on most European vehicles. It is recommended to verify your vehicle's specific strut nut size before use.
Care: After use, wipe the sockets clean to remove any grease or debris. Store the sockets on the provided rail to prevent loss and keep them organized. Avoid exposing the sockets to excessive moisture or corrosive environments to maintain the integrity of the Chrome Vanadium steel.
