Sykes Pickavant 696800-KM12 KM12 Nut Socket is a dedicated bearing lock nut socket for KM12 nuts within the Sykes Pickavant 696800 KM series. Designed to tighten and loosen bearing lock nuts safely, the socket engages fully around the nut to minimise the risk of slip and damage. Unlike hook spanners, it requires less clearance around the nut and allows the use of ratchets or torque wrenches via a 1/2" drive, supporting accurate torque application. The KM12 socket is part of a modular bearing service system that responds to user needs around bearing setting and maintenance, often adjacent to searches like “bearing puller kit” or “bearing extractor”. It is an essential tool for technicians working regularly with KM12 lock nuts on tapered journals and sleeves.
