21mm Torque-Tight™ Lug Nut Indicators

21mm Torque-Tight™ loose lug nut indicators are used in some Class 1 and Class 2 truck applications. These smaller trucks are often tasked with making frequent stops throughout the workday. With Torque-Tight™ installed, drivers can quickly and visually check lug nuts during routine walkarounds, reducing the risk of wheel-off accidents.

Why Torque-Tight™ Is Different

Each Torque-Tight™ indicator is cut to a teardrop shape with 24 locking teeth that create an interference fit on standard hex nuts. Our indicators are designed to be more than twice as large as typical competitors, making them highly visible during inspections and walkarounds.

Torque-Tight™ indicators are available in three standard colors—green, orange, and black—and custom colors are available with minimum orders.

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.
