Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this socket better than regular impact sockets for truck wheels?
The 4-point square design specifically fits Budd wheel studs and grips sides instead of corners, preventing damage and rounding. Regular 6-point or 12-point impact sockets can slip on square studs, causing wear to both the socket and stud threads, which leads to costly repairs and downtime.
Will this socket work with my 3/4-inch impact gun?
Yes, it features a ball detent recess that securely attaches to all standard 3/4-inch drive impact guns, ratchets, and extensions. The detent system prevents the socket from slipping off during high-speed operation, ensuring safe and reliable performance even under maximum torque applications.
How does this compare to other Budd socket brands?
This STEELMAN socket exceeds 150% of ASME torque standards and uses drop-forged chromoly steel construction, while many competitors use standard impact steel with lower torque ratings. The black phosphate coating also provides superior corrosion resistance compared to basic oxide finishes, extending tool life in harsh shop environments.
Can this socket handle rusted or seized wheel studs?
Yes, the drop-forged chromoly steel construction and precise 4-point grip design provide maximum torque transfer even on heavily corroded or over-tightened square studs. The material strength rating at 150% of ASME standards ensures it won't crack or deform when breaking free stubborn hardware that has been exposed to road salt and weather.
