Description
The Lock Technology BMW/Mercedes 17mm Star Shape Lug Socket (5110) is a professional-grade specialty tool designed for specific lug nuts found on modern European vehicles. This socket is engineered to address the unique star or flower head lug nut design used on many late-model BMW and Mercedes cars, as well as other specialty applications. Made from robust chromium molybdenum alloy steel, this socket is built for high-torque applications and can be used confidently with an impact wrench. Its precision-machined, 17mm star-shaped interior provides a perfect fit, which is crucial for preventing damage to both the lug nut and the wheel. Unlike standard sockets, this tool provides the exact geometry needed to safely and efficiently remove or install these specialized fasteners, making it an indispensable part of any mechanic's or DIY enthusiast's tool kit. It is particularly useful for vehicles like the Mercedes C-Class 2012 and newer, which require this specific type of socket for proper wheel service.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Provides a perfect, non-damaging fit for star-shaped lug nuts that standard hexagonal or twelve-point sockets cannot achieve
- Prevents stripping, rounding, or marring of fasteners and wheels
- Constructed from chromium molybdenum alloy steel for exceptional strength and durability
- Withstands high forces from impact tools without breaking or deforming
- Compatible with a variety of hand, air, and electric tools for versatility in any shop or garage
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Size: 17mm
- Lug Nut Type: Star/Flower Head
- Material: Chromium Molybdenum Alloy Steel
HOW TO USE:
- Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and secured on a jack stand, and the parking brake is engaged.
- Tool Selection: Attach the Lock Technology 5110 socket to your impact wrench, ratchet, or breaker bar.
- Positioning: Align the star-shaped internal pattern of the socket with the star shape of the lug nut. Make sure the socket is fully seated and straight on the lug nut before applying force.
- Removal: Turn the socket counter-clockwise with your tool until the lug nut is loose. Repeat for all lug nuts.
- Installation: Thread the lug nut by hand first to avoid cross-threading. Then, use the tool to tighten and finish with a torque wrench to the manufacturer's specified torque rating.
