Lock Technology Black 60ft/lbs 21mm Wheel Torque Socket (1500D)

The Lock Technology Black 60ft/lbs 21mm Wheel Torque Socket (1500D) is a precision tool engineered to prevent the common problem of over-tightening lug nuts. Designed for professional use, this socket ensures that wheel fasteners are tightened to the precise torque specification of 60 ft/lbs (80 N.m), which is crucial for vehicle safety and performance. This socket is an essential component for any technician or DIYer looking to protect wheel studs, rotors, drums, and expensive wheels from damage.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• This torque-limiting socket flexes once the set torque is reached, stopping further force transmission from the impact wrench to the lug nut.
• Provides consistent and accurate torque application without manual adjustments or calibrations.
• Prevents wheel studs from stretching or breaking, reducing the risk of rotor warping and brake pulsation.
• Ensures lug nuts remain easy to remove during future servicing.
• Simple, single-piece construction with no moving parts for long-lasting durability.
• Color-coded for quick and easy identification of torque rating.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Part Number: 1500D or LT1500-D
• Torque Rating: 60 ft/lbs (80 N.m)
• Drive Size: 1/2 inch
• Socket Size: 21mm
• Color: Black
• Material: Forged steel with powder-coated finish

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare your tools: Attach the Lock Technology 1500D socket to a 1/2-inch drive impact wrench rated for at least 250 ft/lbs torque with 90-100 psi air inlet pressure.
2. Position the socket: Place it fully onto the 21mm lug nut to prevent slippage.
3. Apply torque: Engage the impact wrench and tighten until the socket stops applying force.
4. Confirm torque: The socket automatically limits torque to 60 ft/lbs, disengaging once the set torque is achieved.
5. Remove the tool: Detach the socket and impact wrench, and repeat for remaining lug nuts.
