KS TOOLS 1/2 inch KM4 moernutdopsleutel, buitenpennen, chroom-vanadium (450.5004)

KM4 lock nuts secure bearings and shafts in machinery, but without the right tool, tightening or loosening them risks damage to the nut, the shaft, or your knuckles. This KS TOOLS 1/2" drive lock nut wrench socket eliminates that struggle: it engages the nut's external pin holes precisely, letting you apply controlled torque with a standard ratchet or torque wrench.
