Black impact socket with square 4-point design for truck Budd wheel service

Professional Truck Service - STEELMAN 1in Drive 21mm Budd Impact Socket (JS-79390)

Heavy-Duty 4-Point Square Socket for Fleet Mechanics

The STEELMAN JS-79390 1in Drive 21mm Budd Impact Socket is engineered specifically for heavy-duty truck and trailer wheel service. This 4-point square socket grips Budd-style inner cap nuts securely, preventing rounding and slippage that costs time and damages hardware. Built with drop-forged chromoly steel and rated to handle 150% of ASME torque requirements, this professional tool delivers reliable performance in fleet maintenance shops and roadside service calls.

Prevents Hardware Damage - The 4-point square design grips the sides of inner cap nuts rather than the corners, eliminating the rounding and stripping issues common with universal 6-point sockets on worn Budd hardware.
Impact-Rated Durability - Drop-forged and heat-treated chromoly steel construction withstands repeated high-torque impacts from pneumatic guns while maintaining precise fitment over thousands of wheel services.
Secure Tool Connection - Ball detent recess on the 1-inch drive end locks firmly onto impact wrenches, adapters, and extensions, preventing socket drops during overhead work and tight-space applications.

Perfect Applications for Budd Impact Sockets

  • Heavy-duty truck and trailer wheel maintenance in fleet service bays.
  • Roadside tire changes and emergency repairs on commercial vehicles.
  • Dual-wheel hub service where inner cap nut access is restricted.
  • High-volume shops requiring fast, reliable wheel service tools.
  • Preventive maintenance schedules on Budd-style wheel systems.
