What Are Loose Lug Nut Indicators?
Loose Lug Nut Indicators, also known as Wheel Nut Indicators, are a small piece of plastic that is injection molded with 24 teeth. This design allows them to be adjusted into a circular pattern around a truck's hub. The purpose of these indicators is to show the operator that the truck (or trailer's) lug nuts have not rotated, which would be a sign of loosening, causing an unsafe situation where a wheel could come loose, possibly injuring people or property.
How Do Lug Nut Indicators Work?
The 24 points of the indicator are an interference fit (an engineer’s way of saying pressed on) over the lug nut's hex head. They are tight enough to stay on in any weather but not so tight that you cannot remove or install them by hand.
The typical installation is with the indicators pointing in a clockwise direction. This way, if a lug nut does happen to come loose, the indicators rotate toward the outside of the wheel, creating a larger pattern that is more easily visible to the vehicle operator.
Why 33mm Is the Most Common Size
33mm Torque-Tight indicators are our most popular size. Why? Because 33mm (or 1-5/16" for Imperial folks) is the lug nut size used on nearly every heavy truck and trailer on the road in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
33mm vs 22mm Confusion
The 33mm dimension refers to the measurement across the flats of the hex head of the nut. These lug nuts actually fit onto an M22x1.5 stud, which often leads people to mistakenly order 22mm indicators when they actually need 33mm.
How to Confirm Your Size
The easiest way to know is by using a socket or wrench. Sockets are sized the same way as our indicators. If a 33mm or 1-5/16" socket fits your lug nuts, then you know you’re in the correct spot.

That's a great idea, who would ever think something so small could be so valuable
Easy to install, simple, and quick. Best way to save thousands of dollars in tires.
Thanks for finding the black torque tight flags. I had bought the whole set for my bus conversion and lost or (?) one, thanks again tom...
We use these on f 550 and they are the only loose wheel indicators that we have found that we can still check torque on the lug nuts without removing the indicators. And they stay on no matter what kind of areas we drive through.
Super fast shipping...item as describe...thanks
Easy application, easiest thing I purchased for my mechanic to do.
Easy to use, fit perfectly, and the best part - everyone on my team loved the idea of using them right away. They made their life easier (less crouching) and safer.
Fast shipping, good price, and made in USA, I'll definitely keep buying from Torque-Tight for my fleet!
Just what I wanted
The product is very good, but took a long time to get, and when I called to inquire when they would be shipped no one got back to me.
