Description

1/2-Inch Drive Swingarm Pivot Socket Tool

Brief Overview

This is a specialized swingarm pivot nut socket designed specifically for Suzuki motorcycle swing arm service. The four-lug engagement pattern grips the pivot nut securely without rounding, eliminating the frustration of stripped fasteners during removal or installation. Pair this with a flexible 1/2-inch drive extension or complementary swing arm locking tool to streamline your swing arm overhaul workflows.

Key Features

  • Four-Lug Engagement Pattern: Positive grip on Suzuki-specific pivot nut geometry; eliminates cam-out and fastener damage
  • Hardened Cr-V Steel Construction: Engineered for repeated torque cycles without deformation or wear
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion resistance and professional appearance for shop and customer-facing work
  • 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Standard compatibility with air impact wrenches, torque wrenches, and ratchet handles
  • Recessed Cup Design: Cups the pivot nut properly, ensuring centered force delivery and preventing lateral stress

Application Summary

This is a purpose-built tool for professional motorcycle mechanics and Suzuki specialists. It addresses a specific pain point: the OEM Suzuki swing arm pivot nut is notoriously difficult to access and remove without the correct socket. Generic 12-point or 6-point sockets fail because they don't match the nut's geometry. This tool succeeds because it's engineered to the actual fastener design.

Stock this for your Suzuki clientele. Every swing arm overhaul, every fork service that requires swing arm removal, and every frame-off restoration will need it. At the 1/2-inch drive size, it integrates seamlessly into your existing air tool and ratchet inventory.
