Removing and installing front axle nuts on Volkswagen and
Audi vehicles are special jobs that require special tools. The new
Snap-on 3/4-inch drive 17 mm and 19 mm bit sockets are the ideal tools for this
type of service work. The front axle application on these vehicles has a torque
sequence where a 1/2-inch bit socket may not be the right fit.

“There are more Audi and Volkswagen vehicles on the road today than ever
before and servicing them is a business-building opportunity for many of our
customers,” said Scott Amundson, product manager for Snap-on. “We designed the
LAWM17E and LAWM19E specialty sockets to make removing and installing Audi and
Volkswagen front axle nuts much simpler and quicker, which can increase
productivity and profitability.” 

The Snap-on 3/4-inch drive 17
mm (LAWM17E) and 19 mm (LAWM19E) bit sockets are manufactured from special
alloy steel and heat treated for optimum strength and durability. All Snap-on
bits are designed with a precise fit and tight tolerance to prevent slippage
and disengagement.
