Jeff Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Powerbuilt 3/4 inch drive by 1 1/2 inch 12 point socket. Now, this 1 1/2 inch SAE socket will help you apply torque when you're installing a hitch ball. It is a 12 point design socket. And as we mentioned, it is compatible with a 3/4 inch drive socket wrench.
This has a nice, mirror-polished, chromium-vanadium steel construction, which resists corrosion. It is cold forged and heat treated. And if you notice on the side, the labels are engraved for quick identification of the size. This is compliant with the ANSI standards. Few specs again, the socket size is 1 1/2 inches.
The drive size is a 3/4 inch. Now, the overall diameter on this, just to give you some measurements to make sure it fits your application, about two inches overall diameter. And the length of it is right at 2 3/8 inches. But that should do it for the review on the Powerbuilt 3/4 inch drive by 1 1/2 inch 12 point socket..
Ratings & Reviews
This was a lot of socket for the money. It did what it needed to do.
Fits the Equalizer trailer system 14,000lb hitch ball bolt perfectly inside the Equalizer hitch head!
And who doesn't like "perfect" with a $40 savings over the Equalizer socket price.
THANKS etrailer.com
This was supposed to be a thin wall socket needed to torque the hitch ball on the equalizer hitch system. Outside diameter of the socket is too big And did not work.Luckily I was able to find a shop 20 miles away from me that was able to mount the hitch ball and torque it correctly For a fee. Wish I would’ve save the money on the socket to go towards paying to get it done.
Great service. Socket fits perfect. Shipping was excellent. Package delivered right on time. Thank you.
USPS damaged my package and lost the item. I reached out to etrailer immediately to let them know. Without hesitation they shipped me another item right away and was i was able to complete the job right on time.
It is nearly the same dimensions of the 1-7/8" socket from my 3/4" drive set. Wall thickness and all. Except this is 12 point and my set is 6 point. The one I received says "POWERBUILT" not "etrailer".
Great service and the item worked well.
Perfect socket, perfect shipping and delivery. Remarkable tracking!
I’d tried several sockets without any luck for the trailer ball on my equalizer hitch. I read about this socket and it works perfectly. No more fear of my hitch ball not being torqued enough.
Definitely way cheaper than the Equalizer 1-7/8” socket and did the job.
Excellent quality and good bang for the buck.
Your customer service is great. The product is great. My only advice would be if you ship a socket to put it in a box because this one came in a bag and the bar code was damaged. I believe that's why it took the usps nearly a month and halfway across country twice to get here.
The Equalizer products are great….the shipping of 65 pound of Equalizer parts in a 1 cubic foot box, not so much. The UPS driver had a hard time carrying the box to our porch. When he set it down it had a 4” hole in the corner and the 1-3/4” socket was in his hand that had fallen out and, we learned later upon opening the box, the lubricant was missing (see attached photos). To expect anyone to pick up a 65 pound loaded cardboard box with no hand holds is unrealistic thus, the reason for the hole in the box and missing lubricant.
I was impressed with the quality of the hitch and the quick delivery. Also, a call to etrailer explaining my missing lubricant was handled with courtesy and understanding with replacement lubricant headed my way. EXCELLENT customer service….thanks!
Socket worked to install a new ball in my Equilizer hitch.
Exactly what I needed to install the hitch ball, Etrailer has it all, Great Employees and Great products.
Thank you,
Terry
Review for the thin wall 3/4" drive 1 7/8" socket. This was needed for torquing a hitchball to a weight distribution head. The thin wall was just narrow enough to slip onto the nut down in the head. It was snug but came off after torque was set with abit of care. If you have a tight work space such as l did on this application, you must use a thin wall socket. Product appears quality & should last yrs. 5 stars for product & timely shipping from etrailer...
Ordered socket with Equalizer hitch and did not need it. Ball was already on hitch head and torqued! Should have been told this as I ordered hitch over the phone
Had to put it in the lathe. It was to thick for my equalizer hitch. It fits in there but after I got the nut tight I couldn't get it out. Had to remove the ball and lathe it then it worked. I think they should test the stuff before selling it.
I’m giving it 5 stars even though I haven’t used it yet. It fits the nut on my hitch head for my equalizer 16000/1600, but I am unable to use it because of the length, I ordered a 3 inch extension so I can use my torque wrench without interference. It does look like it will get the job done though, afterall I probably will only use it once or twice.
The product is great. The shipping methos sucks. The main package showed up several days late and was clearly taped up after it broke open. I was missing a a number of bolts and nuts. I had to go out and replace $30 worth of high grade nuts, bolts and washers on top of what I paid. I called and emailed the sales rep 3 times with no reply.
Just what I needed to torque the hitch ball to 450 ft lbs on my Curt weight distribution hitch (per install instructions), along with a capable torque wrench. You will also need a 1-7/8 wrench to hold the hitch ball from turning. To make it easier, I turned the hitch 90 degrees so as to torque with downforce and used a floor jack to hold the wrench in place. See photos for my solution.
Does the job!
Socket fits the standard 1 1/2 inch nut on a 2 inch trailer ball.
Great communication and fast shipping.
