Lisle 39510 30mm Axle Nut Socket, Taiwan

I used to be an automotive technician. I think I'd rather walk on hot coals barefoot than return to that career, but I still fix my own cars and do a few favors for family and friends. My toolbox is fairly well stocked and I can handle almost anything short of pulling frames at home. I'm a pretty serious DIYer and am not averse to buying tools even if I'll use it occasionally. This socket falls into that category.I bought this socket to remove CV shaft spindle nuts from a Toyota. The only question I had was whether the socket would withstand the torque of busting loose 20-year old fasteners that have lived in the rust belt their entire lives. The answer is yes.I loosened both nuts using a breaker bar and a pipe extension to get the necessary leverage. I don't like to use an impact wrench to loosen or tighten CV shaft nuts because the hammering action can cause the hardened balls in the CV joint to Brinell as they smack against the joint cage. I know lots of people use an impact wrench every day but I loosen them by hand and then use an impact wrench or driver to run them the rest of the way out. I also torque them by hand when it's time to reassemble everything.I don't use this socket very often but it's in my box whenever I need it. I don't have to run to the parts store to rent one or try to borrow one from a friend. That alone is worth the $16 I paid. This weekend the socket will come out again-- my Toyota needs a wheel bearing.

Worked great! Didn’t notice any mushroom/ metal expansion after use.

Bought this under the premis the "Country of Origin" was marked Taiwan on the product page and other reviews had it shown as such previously. Seems like Lisle has changed their manufacturer at some point. The socket I recieved is made in China.The socket will get the job done, but not happy about the incorrect origin.

The camshaft bolt on my Honda Civic (and most other Hondas as I hear) is notoriously tight and difficult to remove. This tool will work provided it is used with a strong power tool (pneumatic or electric, I used a 115VAC DeWalt) as that is it's intended use/application. I applied penetrating oil to the bolt for days as I waited for the tool to come in the "mail". Not that Amazon was slow, but I was slow to order it and then use it, when it did come. One thing though, It did not work in conjunction with the aftermarket crank shaft holding tool that I also ordered through Amazon. It was too big to fit through the hole in the center. Aftermarket suppliers, some times, are not well coordinated. But, in the end, this tool is the only thing that seemed to work.

I had to buy this because I changed the trans-axle's in my Toyota Camry. The axle nut that this sockets fits is staked and torqued to 250 ft lbs. No problem this socket did the trick. It is well built. Probably $75.00 from a tool truck.

Nice sturdy socket for my Toyota front axle nut. Little expensive, but what isn't these days?

I bought this to use to take out the spindle nut on my 2011 Corolla LE so I can replace the CV axle. This socket is deep and high quality. The fit is tight, which is great so there won't be any spinning or damage to the spindle nut. Use the right tool for the right job is second to none.I highly recommend this socket to those DIY to have.

This socket did the job no other could do

I used this with both an impact gun and a long torque wrench with no issue. Easily removed rusted axle nuts on a 2007 Toyota corolla.

J'ai pu retirer la vis du cardan pour changer mon hub sur mon Toyota Rav4 2011..

Replaced an wheel bearing assembly on Lexus RX330 and used this on end of an air impact and it worked like a charm. You need the deep socket like this as a shallow socket won't work on the lexus.

If you have ever tried to loosen an axle nut you need impact grade sockets. This is of high quality

fit perfect
