When it comes to the torque found on axle nuts you're already looking at using a breaker bar or impact gun not to mention the corrosion collected over the years. The safest approach is using impact socket, since they are built with the strength needed to avoid breaking under pressure.

• Heavy duty ½ inch-drive sockets and drivers have extra thick alloy steel walls, and take a beating that would destroy normal sockets
•  Durable black oxide coating wipes clean easily and resists rust
• Contains three 12-point sockets for a sure grip on the most common sized axle nuts, plus three hex drives for removing common hex-head plugs and fasteners
• Conveniently packaged in a blow molded case, this set will please the most demanding professional technician or discriminating prosumer

• 14mm, 17mm, and 19mm hex head drive axle shoulder bolt sockets - ½" drive

A perfect collection of hex head sockets compiled in a case that's always ready to go.

Features:

• High strength hex driver set, in 3/8 and 1/2-inch drive, is rugged enough for professional use and includes 4, 4.5, 5.5, 6, 8, 12, 14, and 17mm sizes

When dismantling a suspension strut sometimes the securing nut can be difficult to access and the central strut itself needs to be held still while the nut is undone. This new Shock Absorber Tool Kit is designed to overcome these problems and make the job quick and easy.

The go-through design of the sockets and ratchet design allows the strut lock extensions to go right through the middle of the ratchet and socket. Five different strut lock extensions are included, to fit a variety of applications. Seven go-through deep sockets (16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 24mm) are included, plus a sliding T-bar.

Once the spring is compressed and the top plate is free, simply choose the correct strut lock extension and socket. Then fit the socket and the ratchet handle, and fit the strut lock straight through. The central strut is held steady, and the securing nut is quickly removed.

Specifically designed for repairing and replacing shock absorbers and struts

Looking for an alternative to your jack stands? With these wheel blocks you won't have to think twice about a jack stand scratching or denting the underside of your floor or the car falling off the jack stand. These work best when used with a floor jack under the subframe and the opposite axle wheels chocked. These are also a light weight and inexpensive alternative to the super-pricey plastic and metal ramps. They are resistant to most fluids and chemicals (but not solvents) and will never rust unlike metal ramps and blocks.

Also available in a 10" height.

This large socket is the perfect tool for axle nuts when servicing the axle shafts or wheel bearings.

Features:

• Specially hardened to take the added abuse from a impact gun
• Coated for added protection and so you can tell it apart from non impact rated sockets
• 75mm depth  to accommodate many applications and different length shafts
• Made of durable chrome moly steel
