Description
US PRO Tools 43-Piece Shock Absorber Strut Nut Go-Through Socket & Ratchet Set (Model 7148)
Product Overview
The US PRO Tools 7148 is a professional-grade, specialized 43-piece go-through socket and ratchet set engineered specifically for servicing MacPherson strut suspensions. Designed to solve the common challenge of holding a strut piston rod stationary while loosening or tightening the top retaining nut, this pass-through system allows technicians to insert a hex key or Torx bit straight through the center of the ratchet and socket.
Key Features & Specifications
-
Pass-Through (Go-Through) Architecture: Hollow-shaft ratchet and socket design eliminates the need for deep sockets and open wrenches, allowing hex, Torx, or flat bits to pass right through the drive head.
-
Comprehensive 43-Piece Assortment: Includes a wide variety of specialized go-through sockets, internal/external hex bits, Torx bits, and slotted adapters to fit front and rear strut top nuts across numerous vehicle makes.
-
Low-Profile Pass-Through Ratchet: Reversible ratcheting handle designed with a hollow center to maintain low working height in cramped suspension strut towers.
-
High-Strength Construction: Forged from high-grade Chrome-Vanadium (Cr-V) steel and heat-treated to endure high torque loads without twisting or rounding.
-
Organized Storage Case: Supplied in a rugged, blow-moulded carrying case to keep all bits, sockets, and adapters securely in place across workshop bays.
Core Workshop & Automotive Applications
-
Suspension & Strut Overhauls: Removing and installing top mounting nuts on front and rear shock absorber struts without spinning the internal piston rod.
-
