Abstract: A socket and a method for tightening a nut on an axle are disclosed. The socket includes a socket body having a first end and a second end. The first end of the socket body has a rotatable gear hub. The second end is configured to accommodate the nut. The socket includes a socket body insert fixed substantially within the socket body. The socket also includes a trigger movable between a triggered position and a non-triggered position, wherein the trigger is configured to move to the triggered position when a distance between the axle and nut is different than a predetermined trigger distance. The socket further includes a reset pin operably connected to the trigger to reset the trigger to the non-triggered position when depressed. The socket also includes a reset spring positioned between the reset pin and the gear hub to bias the reset pin towards the second end.
