Lisle 39510 30mm Axle Nut Socket, Taiwan

Solid Socket - perfect for job I needed it for -- no issues.

Good finishing makes for ease of use.

Worked like a charm

I used to be an automotive technician. I think I'd rather walk on hot coals barefoot than return to that career, but I still fix my own cars and do a few favors for family and friends. My toolbox is fairly well stocked and I can handle almost anything short of pulling frames at home. I'm a pretty serious DIYer and am not averse to buying tools even if I'll use it occasionally. This socket falls into that category.I bought this socket to remove CV shaft spindle nuts from a Toyota. The only question I had was whether the socket would withstand the torque of busting loose 20-year old fasteners that have lived in the rust belt their entire lives. The answer is yes.I loosened both nuts using a breaker bar and a pipe extension to get the necessary leverage. I don't like to use an impact wrench to loosen or tighten CV shaft nuts because the hammering action can cause the hardened balls in the CV joint to Brinell as they smack against the joint cage. I know lots of people use an impact wrench every day but I loosen them by hand and then use an impact wrench or driver to run them the rest of the way out. I also torque them by hand when it's time to reassemble everything.I don't use this socket very often but it's in my box whenever I need it. I don't have to run to the parts store to rent one or try to borrow one from a friend. That alone is worth the $16 I paid. This weekend the socket will come out again-- my Toyota needs a wheel bearing.

I used this wrench remove the front wheel hub nut off a Toyota Prius. Note that the nut is staked to a groove in the axle and must be straightened out with a punch (or screw driver) before it can be removed. Amazon sells a set with a 30 MM socket and a specially shaped punch to make it easier to un-stake the nut that you might consider buying. I found a nail set punch that has the right taper to do the un-staking. The wrench is well made, I used an electric impact wrench to loosen the nut which was pretty tight. The wrench took that hammering in stride.

used this for my 2007 lexus es350. I went to autozone and pepboys and they didn't carry this type of socket. I did try one from autozone with less contact points and it kept spinning. That's the reason I went online and purchases this one. It worked perfectly. I know I could have used a chisel tool with a torch on the nut to get it off, but why go through all that headache. Just get one of these sockets and a breaker bar and some elbow grease and get that nut off the axle. this is the right tool for the job of taking off the axle nut.

I bought this to use to take out the spindle nut on my 2011 Corolla LE so I can replace the CV axle. This socket is deep and high quality. The fit is tight, which is great so there won't be any spinning or damage to the spindle nut. Use the right tool for the right job is second to none.I highly recommend this socket to those DIY to have.

The camshaft bolt on my Honda Civic (and most other Hondas as I hear) is notoriously tight and difficult to remove. This tool will work provided it is used with a strong power tool (pneumatic or electric, I used a 115VAC DeWalt) as that is it's intended use/application. I applied penetrating oil to the bolt for days as I waited for the tool to come in the "mail". Not that Amazon was slow, but I was slow to order it and then use it, when it did come. One thing though, It did not work in conjunction with the aftermarket crank shaft holding tool that I also ordered through Amazon. It was too big to fit through the hole in the center. Aftermarket suppliers, some times, are not well coordinated. But, in the end, this tool is the only thing that seemed to work.
