Locknut Socket 8 Point

The American Forge & Foundry 18535 Locknut Socket is engineered for heavy-duty axle and wheel-bearing maintenance. With a precise 3 1/8″ 8‑point octagonal profile, it securely grips locknuts to prevent rounding under torque. Constructed from durable high-tensile steel and featuring a machine-welded ¾″ drive plate, it delivers superior torque transfer without failure. A robust powder-coated finish offers solid corrosion resistance, while double-layer laser etching ensures lasting size and part number visibility. The chamfered entry design speeds up tool engagement, making it compatible with ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches . Each socket is individually boxed, barcode-labeled, and ships at approximately 3 lb. Available through Wofford Truck Parts, the 18535 is an essential tool for professional mechanics working on heavy-duty vehicles.
