Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to standard hex impact sockets?
This 4-point square socket grips Budd fasteners at the flats instead of corners, preventing rounding and slippage that hex sockets cause on square hardware. The specialized design ensures secure engagement with commercial truck wheel nuts without damaging expensive fasteners during high-torque applications.
Will this work with my 1-inch drive impact wrench?
Yes, it features standard pin and ring grooves for secure retention on all 1-inch drive air impact wrenches, adapters, and extensions. The through-hole design with retention groove meets industry standards and prevents the socket from separating during high-torque operations or when changing positions.
What vehicles use 17mm Budd wheel nuts?
Commercial trucks, tractor-trailers, buses, and heavy industrial equipment commonly use 17mm square Budd-style fasteners for wheel mounting applications. Fleet vehicles, construction machinery, and mining equipment often feature this fastener type for secure wheel attachment in demanding operating conditions. This socket works on Class 6, 7, and 8 commercial vehicles requiring specialized square nut removal.
How durable is the chromoly steel construction?
Heat-treated chromoly steel exceeds ASME torque requirements by 150% and withstands repetitive high-impact use in professional shop environments. The black phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance while laser-etched markings remain readable after thousands of uses in harsh conditions. This construction handles pneumatic impact wrenches delivering up to 1000 ft-lbs of torque without cracking or deformation.
