This is a metal locknut socket tool designed with three internal prongs/jaws and a threaded center bore. Its chrome-plated body provides strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. The tool is typically used for tightening or loosening specialized locknuts found in machinery, pumps, motors, automotive assemblies, grinder spindles, and industrial equipment.
The three-jaw cutouts provide a firm grip on nuts with matching notches, allowing secure torque transfer without slipping. This type of socket is commonly used in:
- Pump assembly & impeller locking
- Angle grinder spindle nut removal
- Machinery maintenance
- Industrial mechanical fittings
It is ideal for technicians, mechanics, and machine operators needing a reliable tool for specialty locknut applications.
