Product Details

The Performance Tool W1270 is a specialized locknut socket designed for quick and easy removal and installation of 6-slot front axle lock nuts on classic Ford and GM 4WD trucks. This professional-grade tool is essential for front axle service, hub maintenance, and bearing work on heavy-duty 4-wheel drive applications.

Key Features:

  • Heavy-duty chrome molybdenum alloy steel construction for superior strength and durability
  • Precision-machined 6-slot design fits front axle lock nuts perfectly
  • 1/2-inch drive for use with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and impact wrenches
  • Compatible with 1978-1984 Ford 4WD F-250 and F-350 heavy-duty trucks
  • Fits 1973-1981 GM 4WD K20/2500 and K30/3500 trucks

This chrome-vanadium socket provides the leverage and grip needed to tackle stubborn front axle lock nuts that standard tools cannot engage. An essential addition to any professional mechanic's toolbox or serious DIYer working on vintage 4WD truck maintenance and restoration.

great job..

As I'm concerned that this item will work with my stock 65 El Camino, your site came up when looking for the specifics and since I really don't know what it looks like, can only hope it will work (hence, my giving 4 stars).

Very user friendly

Great service

I ordered some hubcaps for my Chevy Aveo because one of my old ones broke. Standard shipping is a little high, but that is expected. It only took a few days for them to get to my house, so I was greatly satisfied with my purchase.

best price

My first time shopping with autosimplicity and it was the right choice l...items came on time

good

It was alot faster than the AutoZone.

On Monday I placed an order for a Moroso Battery Switch (which was competitively priced BTW) and sitting here Wed afternoon I've got my switch in hand. Autoplicity was perfect every step of the way, including immediate notification of the order receipt, notification of shipment, even notification that it had been delivered (and it was waiting on my front porch). Packing was suitable too. Couldn't be happier. Buy with confidence. Kev

Very happy with the ease of use and the prices. Best prices all-in! Good selection and will be visiting again for other modifications to my cars. I really appreciate convienence.

Quick turnaround and the best prices on the web!

I ordered a Derale 14204 Trans oil pan from Autoplicity -<br>it arrived quickly, in good shape (was well packed for shipment)<br>More than pleased.... (best price was a bonus)<br>-HBP-

Autoplicity had the lowest listing price for a part which I had done extensive research. To make the deal much sweeter, free shipping! On top of that, part was delivered in only a few days! Really, there was no reason NOT to order from them. Great prices and fast response are the reasons why I look forward to continued business with Autoplicity. Overall a positive experience, so I highly recommend.

Excellent prices, inventory and fast service. I placed my order on Saturday, Aug 4, it was shipped on Monday, Aug 6, and due to arrive on Friday. I will be a repeat customer with prices and service like this.

In a rush to get my car up and running, Autoplicity had the best price on the items I needed, and in stock as well as shipped quickly. Just what I was looking for, thanks!
