Cracked and broken for clamping nuts

Cracked and broken when tightening. Walls made of thin and/or shabby material. I've only used it to remove wheels from a car for one season.

Pros
  • Ring nuts and accessories
Cons
  • Almost never

A great tool for anyone who takes care of their bikes

This tool should not be missing from any bike shop. An indispensable tool for people who need the best possible care when installing and removing a wheel. The case is perfect, the quality is good and better than expected.

Pros
  • Ring nuts and accessories
Cons
  • Quality

Protects wheels from scratches

Works great. Very happy with my purchase. This is a very dirty and heavy tool (for a socket). Anyone with good wheels should invest in this in my opinion. If you have painted/chrome nuts I recommend putting a piece of plastic bag in this socket. This should prevent damage to the tip. You have to change the bag every few tabs as it breaks when you put it on.

Pros
  • Ring nuts
Cons
  • Problems

Not thin enough for some wheels

Not thin walled. Outer diameter 26.5mm, about the size of a standard impact socket. Works with original BMW wheels but will not fit my new OZ wheels. Otherwise looks good but I'll either have to buy another head or try to remove the plastic cover which defeats the purpose. Update - after removing the plastic cover it turned out to be 24mm which fitted my impeller. Luckily I don't have to buy another socket, but the product still doesn't serve its purpose.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Exchange item
