Lock Technology Light Orange 100ft/lbs 1-1/16″ Wheel Torq Soc (1500HH)

The Lock Technology Light Orange 100ft/lbs 1-1/16″ Wheel Torq Soc (1500HH) is a purpose-built tool designed to simplify the process of properly tightening lug nuts with an impact wrench. This light orange, torque-limiting socket automatically limits the torque output to a precise 100 ft-lbs (135 Nm), ensuring that fasteners are not over-tightened, which can cause significant damage to the wheel, studs, and rotors. The socket’s construction includes a special torsion bar that flexes to absorb excess impact force, allowing technicians and enthusiasts to quickly and safely install wheels. It is a reliable solution for achieving consistent torque every time, improving safety and efficiency in any automotive shop or home garage.KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Prevents Over-Torquing: Automatically limits torque to avoid stretched wheel studs, damaged threads, and warped brake rotors. Color-Coded for Easy Use: Light orange finish with clear markings for quick identification of the correct socket. Improves Safety and Efficiency: Provides consistent torque output, reducing guesswork and speeding up wheel installation. Durable Steel Construction: Built from high-grade steel to withstand repeated use with impact wrenches.SPECIFICATIONS: Part Number: 1500HH Torque Rating: 100 ft-lbs (135 Nm) Socket Size: 1-1/16″ Drive Size: 1/2″ Color: Light Orange Included: One Lock Technology Light Orange 100ft/lbs 1-1/16″ Wheel Torq Soc (1500HH)HOW TO USE: Select the correct socket: Use the Lock Technology 1500HH, designed for a torque limit of 100 ft-lbs. Attach to impact wrench: Connect the 1/2″ drive end of the socket to your impact wrench. Start by hand: Thread the lug nut onto the wheel stud by hand to avoid cross-threading. Apply a quick tap: Use short bursts with the impact wrench. The socket will stop transferring torque once the 100 ft-lbs limit is reached. Check with a torque wrench: Verify the final torque with a calibrated torque wrench for maximum accuracy and safety.BENEFITS OF USING LOCK TECHNOLOGY LIGHT ORANGE 100FT/LBS 1-1/16″ WHEEL TORQ SOC (1500HH): Precision and Accuracy: Ensures consistent torque application for safe and damage-free installations. Time-Saving: Speeds up tire and wheel installations, ideal for both professionals and DIY users. Reduces Risk of Injury: Minimizes the need for heavy manual torque applications. Cost-Effective: Prevents costly damage to studs, rotors, and wheels caused by over-tightening.
