2-5/8" 6-Point Locknut Socket

The Steelman 60266-22 is a 2-5/8-inch socket designed for removing and installing wheel bearing nuts and large industrial fasteners. It features a 6-point design that grips fastener sides to reduce rounding and wear. Made from high-strength carbon steel with a durable black powder coat finish, it includes laser-etched size markings. The tool has a 3/4-inch drive for use with hand-operated ratchets and torque wrenches.

Manual use only, not for impact tools

This socket suits mechanics and technicians who need a heavy-duty hand tool for large locknuts and industrial bolts. The 6-point geometry protects fastener corners during high-torque applications. Buyers requiring a socket for powered impact wrenches or pneumatic tools should look elsewhere, as this model is strictly rated for manual operation. It also does not suit drives other than 3/4-inch.

3/4-inch drive compatibility

The single specification that decides fitment is the 3/4-inch drive size, which must match the ratchet, extension, or torque wrench being used. The 2-5/8-inch opening targets specific large fasteners such as wheel bearing nuts. Confirm the exact fastener size and drive requirement before purchase to ensure this socket matches the application.
