The right tool for the job -- designed specifically for the Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch head where clearance is too tight for a standard end wrench. This thin walled 1-7/8" socket uses a 3/4" drive and is built to deliver the torque needed to properly seat and secure the hitch ball without fighting for room.
Anyone who has worked on an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch knows the problem: the hitch head casting leaves almost no clearance around the ball nut for a standard open-end or box wrench. A regular deep socket can also be too thick-walled to seat properly in the confined space. Fastway engineered part 02-0021 specifically to solve that problem.
With a thin wall profile, this 1-7/8" socket drops cleanly over the hitch ball nut and accepts a standard 3/4" drive torque wrench or breaker bar, giving you the mechanical advantage to properly torque the ball without improvising. This is the socket Fastway recommends for installation and service of Equal-i-zer hitch heads.
Sized specifically for the 1-7/8" nut on the Equal-i-zer hitch head -- not a generic socket repurposed for the job.
Reduced wall thickness lets the socket clear the tight casting clearance around the hitch head where standard sockets won't fit.
Accepts a 3/4" drive torque wrench or breaker bar for proper installation torque on the hitch ball nut.
Backed by Fastway's Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty for defects in materials and workmanship.
Proper torque on the hitch ball is critical for safe towing. Under-torqued balls can rotate or back off under load; over-torqued nuts risk thread damage. Getting a torque wrench onto the nut with the correct socket is the only reliable way to confirm proper installation. This socket makes that possible on the Equal-i-zer head geometry.
