Dual-function tool for simultaneous wheel stud and hub surface cleaning

The ESCO 50172 HD Stud Kleen is an impact-driven cleaning tool designed to remove rust, corrosion, and debris from wheel hubs and studs on medium and heavy-duty trucks. This all-in-one solution cleans both hub mating surfaces and wheel studs simultaneously, reducing wheel vibration and preventing seized rims. Compatible with 1/2 inch air and electric impacts, the HD Stud Kleen handles stud sizes 3/4 inch and 22mm up to 5.75 inches long with an internal stainless-steel stud cleaning system that delivers approximately 800 wheel cleanings per tool.

Key Features

Dual-Function Cleaning Design

Combines hub and stud cleaning in one tool. Internal stainless-steel tines remove contaminants from wheel studs while the outer pad simultaneously cleans the hub mating surface, improving cleaning efficiency on medium and heavy-duty trucks.

Replaceable Quick-Change Pad System

Each abrasive synthetic pad delivers 150 uses and clicks securely in place without tools. Two-part construction with durable metal housing extends tool life and reduces downtime while pads outlast competitive brands.

Stainless-Steel Stud Cleaning Tines

Hundreds of internal stainless-steel tines clean rust and corrosion buildup on wheel studs, improving torque accuracy. System accommodates studs up to 5.75 inches long and prevents wheel-off incidents caused by contaminated surfaces.

1/2 Inch Impact Compatible

Works with standard 1/2 inch air impact wrenches and battery-powered impact drivers. Maximum rotation reaches 12,000 RPM, making it an ideal shop accessory during tire service on medium and heavy-duty trucks.
