Efficient OTC 7941 Hub Locknut Socket Wrench: A Must-Have for Toyota Owners Review

I can't believe how horribly this tool was made. With dowel pins that bend because the lock nut is tightened to 200 ft-lbs, you need to rethink how you make this tool.

Pins cut off on first use. The torque on the 2WD front wheel bearing nut is about 200 ft-lbs, since the torque wrench clicked a few pins just broke. Job done, but the $50 disposable tool is useless.

Tool fits perfectly. The pins are a bit flimsy, but even on impact they held up to changing both bearings and were just beginning to bend when I tightened the last one, but I doubt that would happen with the right ratchet and vise. Much better than buying expensive tools from Toyota

I bought 2 more sockets for Toyota and they were both terrible. None of the pins aligned and they broke easily. I use them commercially so they train daily and THIS was perfect. The pins were properly aligned and the tool easily handled repeated torque adjustments of 203 lb-ft of torque with no issues. If you want one that does it right, get this one.

Also have this 4 pin socket. A quick trip to my local mount and I installed solid pins before using them for the first time. Seems like a crap but what can you expect from Interwebs. Thanks to the lever and the second hand holding the nest and the spindle fixed in the vice, this nest was quickly removed and installed. Would buy again.
