Lock Technology Drive Torque Limiting Socket

The Lock Technology torque limiting socket (also called a torque socket or wheel torque socket) tightens wheel nuts and other fasteners to a preset torque without a separate torque wrench step. Each socket is calibrated to a specific torque rating. Once it reaches that value, the socket flexes. This stops an impact wrench from applying more force.

Key Features:

• Preset torque limit, calibrated at the factory, so tightening is consistent and doesn't depend on guesswork
• Helps prevent over-tightening that can strip threads, stretch or break studs, or damage brake rotors and wheel hubs
• Works with an impact wrench or ratchet for one-step tightening, which saves time in the shop
• Professional-grade construction for demanding shop, fleet and tire service use
• Available in a range of torque ratings, drive sizes and socket sizes to suit different applications

Lock Technology (LTI) is known for torque-limiting tools used by technicians. They help set the correct clamp load and reduce the risk of wheel-off situations caused by improper torque. Choose the variant whose torque rating, drive size and socket size match your application.
