New tools from Laser make light work of these heavy jobs
Thursday 28 April 2011
Two new tools from Laser can speed up wheel nut removal and replacement on commercial vehicles.
The 3/4"-drive impact extension bar (part no: 5057) is a tough tool that has the advantage of a spinner sleeve to speed up wheel nut removal.
The Torque Bar Socket is designed to allow the operator to quickly run up wheels nuts with an air gun without fear of overtightening. It comes in two sizes, the 32mm will tighten to 450Nm, the 33mm will tighten to 600Nm, the wheel nuts are then tightened to the specified figure with a torque wrench. Both are 1"-drive.
Made from chrome molybdenum steel, they are extra long (300mm) to reach deep-seated nuts.
