1/2-Inch Drive 36mm Axle Nut Socket

This 1/2-inch drive socket fits 36 mm axle nuts on a wide range of passenger and light-commercial vehicles. It is built for professional technicians and weekend mechanics who need a dedicated tool for hub removal and installation. The black finish resists corrosion in shop environments.

Performance-Grade Construction

The socket is manufactured to performance-grade tolerances so it grips the fastener flats without rounding them off. Heat-treated alloy steel absorbs high torque from impact or breaker bars while maintaining dimensional accuracy. No additional accessories or software are included with the single-piece tool.

Capacity and Service Limits

The 36 mm opening handles standard axle nuts found on many front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive applications. It will not fit larger commercial-truck spindles or smaller hub nuts used on compact cars. Users needing multiple sizes must purchase separate sockets.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2-inch drive on the 648472 socket need replacing after heavy use?

The socket is built to professional quality standards and the drive square is integral to the forged body, so it does not have a separate replaceable part.

What stops the 36mm socket from rounding off an axle nut during sustained tightening?

The six-point Performance-grade profile grips the nut flats rather than the corners, limiting rounding even under high torque.

Does the black finish on the Powerbuilt 648472 get hot enough to burn hands during all-day work?

The socket is a solid steel tool with no electrical or moving parts, so it only warms to the temperature of the components you are turning.
