RevHD Creates New Line of Sockets to Simplify Bearing Adjustments

Technician-first sockets take guesswork out of bearing adjustments for manually adjusted hubs.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. – July 24, 2025 – RevHD, a leading provider of premium wheel

end components, has expanded its product line with the release of a new precision-

engineered line of sockets that allows visual use of the technician-trusted 2-1-1 bearing adjustment procedure for all manually adjusted hubs.


RevHD’s new sockets feature etched hash marks that guide technicians through the

2-1-1 process: an easy-to-remember, repeatable method that helps eliminate human

error and delivers consistent RP-618 accuracy on the wheel end.


Built with input from the shop floor, these sockets can be used with a wide range of nuts

on the market (including the Rev-Loc Universal Spindle Nut) to deliver a TMC RP-618

perfect bearing adjustment on any manually adjusted hub. No guessing. No counting

threads.

RevHD’s new line of sockets work with a wide range of axle nuts, including the Pro Torq nut.

“This socket is a technician-first solution that helps make every bearing adjustment

more accurate,” said Sean McDonald, president, RevHD. “Ours is a grassroots

approach, built on listening to technicians and fleet owners and ultimately designing

products that make their jobs easier. Our new socket is no different, allowing

technicians to more easily and quickly conduct a proper bearing adjustment on a

manually adjusted hub. It’s at the core of what we do – maintenance made simple.”


Built for the Wheel-End, Designed for the Technician

Wheel-end maintenance plays a vital role in keeping trucks running safely and

efficiently. Precise bearing adjustments are key to avoiding downtime and maximizing

performance. These sockets are designed to play a fundamental role in helping

technicians conduct the correct torque procedure and maintain the integrity of the wheel

end with every install.

allowing you to see the markings that otherwise would be covered by a traditional

socket.

Socket Versatility and Simplicity

Designed to pair perfectly with the Rev-Loc Spindle Nut and compatible with industry-

standard options like the Pro Torq nut, the socket enhances both accuracy and

efficiency in wheel-end service.


Key features include:

  • Etched hash marks for easy 2-1-1 visual alignment

  • Available in five popular sizes for common axle nuts, including the TP axle

  • Precision-matched sizing for repeatable, accurate torque settings


“With this socket, we’re giving technicians a smarter, more reliable way to get a critical

job done right,” McDonald added, “because safety, uptime and trust are non-

negotiable.”
