Product Overview
The AME INTL Wheel Lug Washer is engineered for professionals who need a dependable tool to tackle the toughest lug nuts. Constructed from high‑grade alloy steel with a stainless‑steel exterior finish, the washer resists rust and wear even in harsh environments. It features a unified national coarse (UNC) thread of 1.5 inches, delivering a precise fit for standard wheel hubs. The set includes two sockets—1‑1/2‑inch (38 mm) and 1‑5/6‑inch (33 mm)—covering the most common lug sizes. With a gear ratio of 58:1 and a rated output torque of 2,950 ft‑lb, this tool provides the mechanical advantage needed to break loose seized nuts without excessive effort.
Usage
Designed for both commercial fleets and agricultural machinery, the washer excels in settings where wheel nuts are subjected to extreme torque and exposure. Whether you are servicing a tractor, a heavy‑duty truck, or a construction vehicle, the robust alloy construction ensures consistent performance. The compact design allows easy access in tight wheel wells, and the dual‑socket configuration means you can switch between common lug sizes without swapping tools. Ideal for mechanics, farm equipment technicians, and roadside assistance professionals who demand reliability and speed.
