696800-KM2 - Locknut Socket The Sykes-Pickavant KM Sockets are designed for the safe, accurate installation and removal of KM locknuts - specialised precision nuts used to secure bearings and other critical components on shafts. These nuts feature slots around their circumference, which means a standard socket or spanner cannot be used without risking damage to the nut or shaft. KM sockets are purpose-built tools that engage directly with the nut’s slots, providing a positive drive connection that distributes torque evenly. This prevents slippage, rounding, or distortion - common issues when improvised tools are used - and helps maintain the integrity of both the locknut and the component it secures. The socket has a 22mm hex pattern, for the use with a socket or wrench.
