Description

Drive Axle Nut Socket, 3/4-Inch Drive, H60 6-Tooth Profile

Brief Overview

This heavy-duty drive axle nut socket is engineered for professional truck maintenance and fleet service shops working with MAN and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The H60 6-tooth recessed profile ensures precise engagement with factory axle nuts, minimizing the risk of rounding or stripping during removal and installation. Built from hardened steel with a robust black finish, this socket delivers the durability and reliability that high-volume service operations demand. If you're stocking axle-related tools, you may also want to consider complementary options like truck axle nut sockets for Mercedes-Benz applications or universal axle and groove nut removal tools to round out your inventory.

Key Features

  • 3/4-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard pneumatic and breaker bar attachments used in professional shops
  • H60 6-Tooth Profile: Specifically designed for MAN and Mercedes-Benz drive axle nuts, ensuring proper fit and grip
  • Deep Cylindrical Design: Accommodates large-diameter axle nuts with precision internal geometry
  • Hardened Steel Construction: Matte black finish resists corrosion and provides extended tool life
  • Multi-Lobed Recessed Interior: Engineered to prevent cam-out and distribute load evenly across the nut engagement surface

Why This Socket Matters for Your Business

High Demand Application: Drive axle nut removal is a recurring service task across truck fleets and heavy commercial service centers. Stocking specialized sockets like this one fills a genuine gap in general tool inventories and justifies premium pricing.

Brand-Specific Inventory Builder: Many shops stock only generic sockets and are forced to order specialty items when MAN or Mercedes-Benz trucks arrive. This socket becomes a value-add that improves customer satisfaction and reduces service downtime.

Durable Resale Asset: Unlike consumable items, hardened steel sockets retain their value and represent profitable repeat sales across multiple service intervals.
