Steelman 60258-10 3-1/2" 6-Point Locknut Socket 3/4" Drive tool storage

3-1/2-Inch 6-Point Locknut Socket

This Steelman socket is built for mechanics and technicians who need to remove or install large wheel bearing nuts and industrial fasteners. Its 3/4-inch drive fits standard hand ratchets, extensions, adapters and torque wrenches. The six-point design contacts fastener flats rather than corners, reducing rounding and premature wear. It is a manual tool only and must not be used with power or impact wrenches.

High-Strength Carbon Steel Construction

The socket is forged from high-strength carbon steel for long-lasting durability in demanding garage and industrial environments. A black powder-coat finish resists chipping and fading, while laser-etched size markings remain legible after repeated use. The tool integrates directly into existing 3/4-inch drive tool storage without requiring proprietary accessories. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Manual-Only Operation Under Load

Under sustained torque, the six-point geometry distributes force evenly across the fastener faces, maintaining grip where twelve-point or worn sockets might slip. The carbon steel body resists deformation during extended manual tightening or loosening cycles. Because impact use is prohibited, the socket preserves its dimensional accuracy and coating integrity when operated within its intended hand-tool limits.
