Lock Technology Torque Master

The Lock Technology Torque Master line is a family of wheel torque sockets and socket kits. Each socket is built to tighten lug nuts to the correct torque with a ½-inch drive impact wrench. They work as a torque-limiting socket set, and some people call them torque sockets or torque-limiting lug nut sockets. They give tire and brake shops a fast, repeatable alternative to a hand torque wrench.

Key Features:

• Designed for use with a ½-inch drive impact wrench
• Once the target torque is reached, the socket twists slightly and disengages the impact wrench. This helps prevent over-torquing.
• No moving parts
• Forged steel construction
• Color and letter coding for quick socket identification
• Calibrated for use with a properly calibrated impact wrench and correct air pressure
• Kits come in a case, and the product literature describes a color wall chart that is updated each year

Benefits:

• Helps prevent over-torqued wheel nuts, which can cause brake pulsation, wheel vibration, and damaged or broken studs
• Cuts down on customer call-backs
• Speeds up wheel installation compared with a hand torque wrench

Torque Master sockets are for tightening wheel nuts. They are not for wheel removal. For best results, tighten wheel nuts in a star (criss-cross) pattern. Use the sockets every time wheels are installed.
