Tiger Tool Socket

Tiger Tool Sockets: Purpose-Built for the Toughest Drivetrain & Suspension Jobs

When a standard socket set falls short on a Class 6–8 truck, Tiger Tool steps in with a line of specialty sockets engineered specifically for the heavy-duty challenges that professional technicians face every day. Tiger Tool has spent more than four decades designing North American-made tools for dealership service departments, independent repair shops, and fleet maintenance facilities — and their socket lineup reflects that deep, application-specific expertise. Browse all specialty sockets to find the right fit for your application.

What Sets Tiger Tool Sockets Apart

Unlike generic socket sets, Tiger Tool sockets are purpose-designed for specific fastener types and vehicle platforms. Each socket is CNC machined from billet, high-strength alloy steel, giving technicians the confidence that the tool will outlast the job — and many jobs after it. The geometry of each socket is engineered to engage fasteners cleanly and completely, eliminating the risk of flaring or rounding out that commonly occurs when using standard sockets on heavy-duty hardware.

Tiger Tool backs their socket lineup — and all of their tools — with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, a testament to the confidence they place in their own manufacturing process.

Key Socket Products from Tiger Tool

• 6-Point Axle Nut Socket Set: Consisting of five individual sockets (ranging from 2" up to 4"), this set removes and installs six-point axle nuts without the risk of flaring or rounding out. Designed for Class 6–8 trucks including Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner, Mack, and Volvo platforms.
• Tie Rod Socket: Provides quick removal or adjustment of tie rod ends on virtually all heavy-duty trucks — commonly found on Class 6–8 transportation trucks and equipment — without damaging the fastener.
• Leaf Spring Pin Socket Set: Allows technicians to remove and install even the most stubborn threaded leaf spring and shackle pins on International, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, Western Star, and Mack suspensions.

Engineered for Professional Heavy-Duty Use

Tiger Tool sockets are classified as professional-grade specialty tools — not catalog fillers. They are engineered and manufactured under one roof in North America, which means tighter quality control and real accountability from design through final assembly. For technicians who regularly service commercial fleets or heavy equipment, these sockets solve problems that a trip to the hardware store simply cannot.
