Q 1. What is the Sykes Pickavant 696800-KM9 designed to do?

A. The 696800-KM9 is a purpose-built KM9 locknut socket designed for the safe, accurate installation and removal of KM9 locknuts — specialised precision nuts used to secure bearings and other critical components on shafts. It engages directly with the nut's slots to provide a positive drive connection that distributes torque evenly, preventing slippage, rounding, or distortion.

Q 2. Why can't I use a standard socket or spanner on KM locknuts?

A. KM locknuts feature slots around their circumference that a standard socket or spanner cannot engage with safely. Attempting to use improvised tools risks damaging the nut or shaft. The 696800-KM9 is purpose-built to engage directly with these slots, providing controlled torque application and protecting both the locknut and the component it secures.

Q 3. What drive size does the 696800-KM9 use?

A. The 696800-KM9 uses a 1/2" square drive, allowing it to be used with standard ratchets and torque wrenches for accurate and controlled tightening and loosening of KM9 locknuts.

Q 4. What are the dimensions and weight of the 696800-KM9?

A. The socket measures 67 x 67 x 40 mm (L x W x H) and weighs 0.534 kg, making it compact enough for easy storage while being robust enough for repeated professional workshop use.

Q 5. What applications is the KM9 socket used for?

A. The KM9 socket is used to secure and adjust bearings on tapered journals, adapter sleeves, and withdrawal sleeves. It is suitable for bearing maintenance tasks that require tightening or loosening of KM9 locknuts with controlled torque.

Q 6. Does the 696800-KM9 require more clearance around the bearing than a hook spanner?

A. No — one of the advantages of the KM9 socket is that it demands less space around the bearing arrangement than a hook spanner, making it easier to work in confined areas while still allowing the use of ratchets and torque wrenches.

Q 7. Is there an extension available for the 696800-KM9 socket?

A. Yes — Sykes Pickavant offers the 696800-KM9EXT Extension Tube, which can be used to extend the reach of the KM9 socket where additional clearance or access is required.

Q 8. What payment methods do you accept?

A. We accept all major credit and debit cards, along with PayPal.

Q 9. When will my order be dispatched?

A. In-stock orders placed before 14:30 Monday to Friday are usually dispatched the same day.
