Purpose-built locknut socket
The STEELMAN 60282-19 is an 8-point locknut socket with a 3/4-inch drive designed for removing and installing wheel bearing nuts and other large industrial fasteners. Its 8-point geometry grips the sides of the fastener rather than the corners to reduce rounding and premature wear. The socket is intended for manual use with hand-operated ratchets, extensions, adapters, or torque wrenches and must not be used with power or impact tools.
Durable carbon steel construction
Made from high-strength carbon steel, the socket features an industrial black powder coat finish that resists chipping and fading during regular workshop use. Laser-etched size callouts and markings remain legible over time and will not rub off with handling. The tool carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Manual drive compatibility only
The 3/4-inch drive works with any standard hand-operated ratchet, extension, adapter, or torque wrench already in the toolkit, freeing the user from needing specialised impact-rated accessories. Because impact and power tools are expressly excluded, the socket is not suited for high-volume tyre shops or heavy-equipment maintenance that relies on powered fastening. Builders who need impact-rated sockets or smaller drive sizes will need different tools.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 60282-19 socket onto a 3/4" drive ratchet, and what step do people get wrong?
Align the square drive hole with the ratchet anvil and press until the detent ball clicks into the socket's retention groove; the step often missed is verifying the ball is fully seated before applying torque.
What maintenance or replacement will the 60282-19 socket need later?
Inspect the 8-point opening for rounding or cracks and the black powder coat for chips after heavy use; replace the socket if the drive square shows deformation or the laser-etched markings become illegible.
What limit shows up first when the 60282-19 socket is used under sustained manual torque?
The tool is rated for hand-operated use only; sustained high torque will first reveal its limit as drive-square deformation or fastener rounding because it must not be used with power or impact wrenches.
