6679 Wheel Nut Torsion Socket Set 3pc
A set of three 1/2"D torsion sockets, designed to prevent wheel nuts from being over tightened when using an impact wrench. It limits the torque applied to 108Nm (80ft.lb), to help prevent stripped threads or damaging the wheel nuts/bolts, so that a torque wrench can then be used for the final tightening to the manufacturer’s specified torque figure.
- Specifically designed torsion sockets which torque up to 80ft.lb (108Nm). Only use with an impact wrench.
- Prevents over tightening of wheel nuts (NB. Always use a torque wrench & normal socket to check the torque after).
- Sizes: 17, 19, 21mm x 120mm 6pt x 1/2"D.
- Use with Laser Part Nos. 5586 or 5585.
- Manufactured from chrome molybdenum.

No more overtightening of wheel nuts with these torsion sockets
Wheel nuts and air impact wrenches — strictly speaking an impact wrench is designed to loosen fixings rather than tighten them but with wheel nuts it is very tempting to speed things up by using the impact wrench to refit them, and of course this leads to over tightening. Wheel nuts are safety critical and should always be tightened with a torque wrench, and aside from the obvious problem that over tightened nuts may be difficult (or impossible) to undo, there is always the danger of stripped threads, or wheel studs and bolts stretching and becoming brittle.
These wheel nut torsion sockets from Laser Tools (part number 6679) solve this problem. They are ½-inch drive, designed to be used with an impact wrench and limit the torque applied to 80 lb/ft (108 Nm). This prevents over tightening and then a torque wrench is used for the final tightening to the manufacturer’s specified figure.
The set of three includes 17, 19 and 21 millimetre sockets, the most common wheel nut sizes. The thin-walled design and soft plastic covers protect the alloy wheel and the sockets are manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel for excellent strength and wear resistance.
