Quantity

1” Torque-Tight™ loose lug nut indicators are sometimes used in truck classification 2 or 3 but 1” lug nuts are not very common. 1” Lug nuts are also found on some heavy equipment, including most Case Skid Steers.

Torque-Tight™ indicators are a small plastic piece that is cut to a teardrop shape, then a 24 point section of teeth are cut to in the shape of a circle that create an interference fit on a standard Hex Nut. Torque-Tight™ indicators are designed to be much larger (more than 2x in fact) than our competitors, this allows for a blatant visual reference when performing a walkaround. Our Torque-Tight™ indicators come in 3 standard colors, Green, Orange, and Black, however they are available in any color you can imagine (with a minimum order). For less than $30 you can reduce the risk of wheel off accidents, and heck, you may even save a few lives in the process.

Why Fleets Choose Torque-Tight

  • Made in the USA with consistent molding quality
  • Injection-molded for precise fit and long life
  • Color is molded through the part, never painted
  • UV-stable polyethylene resists fading and cracking
  • 1/8 inch thick for durability and secure fit
  • Two-year warranty

How Drivers & Technicians Use Them

  1. Install all indicators pointing the same direction.
  2. During pre-trip, look for any indicator rotated outward.
  3. Any rotation indicates a lug nut requiring immediate service.

Temperature & Environment Performance

Torque-Tight indicators are molded from a high-performance LDPE resin designed for long-term outdoor use. The material remains stable across brake heat cycles, winter cold, UV exposure, and chemical contact.

  • Operating environment: −40°F to over 250°F
  • Short-duration heat tolerance well above typical brake drum temperatures
  • UV-stable colorant prevents fading
  • Resistant to oils, grease, salt, and de-icer chemicals

Why We Don’t Use Biodegradable Plastics

Some indicator brands use biodegradable or oxo-degradable plastics. These materials are not recommended for heavy truck environments because they can lose strength when exposed to sunlight, heat, vibration, and road chemicals.

A wheel-end safety device should not degrade outdoors. Torque-Tight indicators use an engineering-grade LDPE chosen for durability, long service life, and consistent performance.
