RevHD, a wheel end component provider, has launched a line of technician-focused sockets designed to simplify bearing adjustments for manually adjusted hubs.

The sockets feature hash marks that visually guide technicians through the industry-standard 2-1-1 bearing adjustment procedure, the company said in a news release. This helps reduce errors and ensure consistent results.

The 2-1-1 process is widely used for TMC RP-618 compliant wheel-end maintenance. RevHD says its new sockets are built to bring that method to life by allowing visibility of torque alignment marks that are typically hidden when using traditional sockets.

“This socket is a technician-first solution that helps make every bearing adjustment more accurate,” said Sean McDonald, president of RevHD, in the release. “Ours is a grassroots approach, built on listening to technicians and fleet owners and ultimately designing products that make their jobs easier. Our new socket is no different, allowing technicians to more easily and quickly conduct a proper bearing adjustment on a manually adjusted hub.”

RevHD says the sockets work with a wide range of axle nuts, including the company’s own Rev-Loc Universal Spindle Nut. The sockets are available in five sizes.
