Description

Strut Removal Socket – Magnetic, 3/8" Drive, Tesla Model 3

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built socket designed specifically for removing and installing the top shock retaining nut on Tesla Model 3 suspension assemblies. The thin-wall design provides superior access in tight engine bay spaces, while the integrated spring-loaded magnet secures longer fasteners throughout the removal and installation process. If you're stocking Tesla-specific tools, pair this with premium wheel bolt security sockets and lifting protection pads to build a complete Tesla service kit.

Key Features

  • Magnetic retention system – Spring-loaded internal magnet prevents fastener drop and loss during removal
  • Thin-wall construction – Reduced outer diameter enables access in confined spaces without obstruction
  • 6-point hex geometry – Minimizes cam-out and fastener rounding on precision suspension hardware
  • Compact length – 63mm profile fits within standard socket rails and storage systems
  • 3/8" drive compatibility – Integrates seamlessly with standard ratchets and torque wrenches

Why This Matters for Your Business

Tesla service demand continues to expand across independent shops and dealership networks. This socket eliminates the frustration of dropped fasteners in difficult-to-access areas and reduces labor time on routine shock replacement—both direct cost benefits you can pass to your customers or retain as efficiency gains. The magnetic design eliminates repeat trips under the vehicle, a small feature that compounds into significant time savings per job. Stock this alongside your Tesla-specific five-point sockets to position your operation as a Tesla-ready service provider.
