Steelman 3-1/2-Inch 6-Point Locknut Socket, 3/4-Inch Drive – Wheel Bearing Nut Tool

Take the strain out of stubborn wheel bearing locknuts

The STEELMAN 60258-10 3-1/2-Inch 6-Point Locknut Socket is engineered to tackle large fasteners with confidence. Designed in a 6-point profile, this socket grips the sides of fasteners rather than the corners, helping reduce the chance of premature wear and rounding during install or removal of wheel bearing locknuts and other sizable bolts.

Constructed from high-strength carbon steel, this tool delivers lasting durability in demanding shop environments. The industrial-strength black powder coat offers a robust finish that resists chips and fading, helping the socket maintain a sharp, professional look project after project.

Clear, durable markings for quick setup

Size callouts and markings are laser etched into the steel, so they stay readable even after repeated use and exposure to oil, dirt, and grime. Reading the scale at a glance minimizes guesswork on busy days.
