Laser Tools have introduced extra-long alloy wheel nut sockets to allow extra clearance between the tool and the car bodywork when removing or refitting alloy wheels.

Using proper alloy wheel nut sockets when removing or tightening the wheel nuts is essential to avoid wheel damage, but sometimes clearance can tight. The new Laser sockets (part number 6866) solve this problem. Their 150 millimetre length keeps the torque wrench safely out of the way of the bodywork, and their thin-walled design and protective nylon sleeve looks after both the alloy wheel and the wheel nut. Laser say the the sockets are manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel for excellent strength and wear resistance.

The set of three includes 17, 19 and 21 millimetre sockets, and they are presented in a sturdy blow mould case to keep them clean and secure.

The new wheel nut sockets are available now from Laser Tools stockists.You can see the tool in action in the video below.
