The hardness and torque range values of the anti-theft screws we tested fall within normal parameters, and the nuts will not be damaged under these conditions.
When installing tire sockets or nuts/screws, passenger vehicles typically require a torque value of around 120-150 N·m to secure them properly, with a maximum of 160 N·m. However, our nuts are designed to meet a torque standard of 200 N·m, meaning they will not sustain damage when tightened within this range.
Potential reasons for customer-reported damage:
Rust on wheel screws: Corroded screws become difficult to remove, requiring excessive torque that may ultimately fail to dislodge the nut while damaging it.
Improper installation torque: If the anti-theft screws are not installed using the specified torque, excessive force may be required for removal. This could exceed the socket’s maximum torque tolerance, causing socket cracks. Recommendation: Always use a torque wrench and stay within the socket’s rated torque range.
Extended wrench leverage: While short-handled torque wrenches are sufficient for removal, switching to a long-handled wrench like breaking bar or long extension bar during the process reduces user effort but amplifies force at the tool head, potentially damaging the nut.
This master tool enables you to permit servicing of customer vehicles, even customer has lost the key.
