Project Ideas

Business

Mobile Lug Nut Torque & Retorque Service

Offer on-site wheel lug torquing for fleets, RVs, and trailers (common 7/8 in hex on 8‑lug hubs). Use a calibrated 3/4 in drive torque wrench with the 7/8 in 12-point socket for high-torque specs and tight access. Provide torque stickers, paint marks, and digital logs. Sell seasonal subscriptions (pre/post-trip checks, post-service retorques).


Farm & Heavy-Equipment Fastener Rescue

Specialize in on-site removal/replacement of rounded or seized 7/8 in nuts on implements, pivots, and construction gear. Lead with the DirectTorque socket to minimize further rounding, backed by heat, penetrants, and extractors. Bundle in hardware replacement and upsell to fastener standardization kits with torque charts and service intervals.


Metal Building Bolt-Up & Inspection

Provide labor and QA for installing and torquing 7/8 in A325/A490 structural bolts on small metal buildings and mezzanines. Use the 3/4 in drive socket for snug-tight and final torque, then apply tamper-evident paint marks. Offer per-joint pricing, punch-list inspections, and documentation for permit closeout.


Heavy Trailer Lug Kit Retail

Assemble and sell a roadside-ready kit: 7/8 in 12-point socket, 3/4 in drive breaker bar, 6 in extension, torque chart, gloves, valve stem tool, and paint pen in a compact roll. Target feed stores, RV dealers, and online marketplaces. Offer branded fleet versions with laser-etched inventory IDs on the sockets.


Torque Training Workshops & Content

Run short workshops for fleet drivers and DIYers on proper torque sequences and fastener care using the 7/8 in socket. Capture sessions for social media/YouTube, comparing 12-point vs 6-point in tight spaces and demonstrating rounding prevention. Monetize via tuition, sponsorships, affiliate links, and branded kits.

Trailer Lug-Torque Station Board

Build a portable wall-mount board for truck/trailer maintenance with hangers for a 3/4 in drive torque wrench, the 7/8 in 12-point socket, and an extension. Add a laminated torque chart for common wheel studs, a paint pen clip for torque marks, and a magnetized socket dock with the hard-stamped size visible. The 12-point head lets you reposition quickly in tight fender wells; the knurled control ring helps spin lugs by hand before final torque.


Knurl-Pattern Leather/Metal Texturer

Use the socket’s knurled control ring as a texture stamp. Lightly dampen vegetable-tan leather or use soft sheet metal (copper/aluminum), then roll/press the knurled ring to create a clean grip pattern for knife sheaths, straps, or tags. Mask the chrome faces with tape to avoid scratches and keep the DirectTorque faces pristine.


Clamp-Load Demonstration Rig

Create a benchtop teaching jig: a 7/8 in Grade 8 bolt through two steel plates with a dial indicator or feeler gauge stack to visualize joint compression as you torque using the 3/4 in drive socket. Add a simple strain gauge (or spring scale arm) to correlate torque to clamp load. Great for STEM demos and for training helpers on proper torque technique.


Paint-Mark Torque Sleeve

Make a short 3D-printed or rubber sleeve that slips over the socket’s nut end and holds a small paint pad. As you finish torque on a lug or structural nut, the sleeve automatically leaves an index mark on the nut and adjacent surface. The 12-point nose centers easily; DirectTorque geometry reduces rounding during the final snug.


Industrial Drawer Pull from a Spare Socket

Repurpose an extra 7/8 in socket as a rugged drawer or cabinet pull. Run a countersunk bolt through the drawer from inside and thread into a tapped insert set in the drive end. The polished chrome and hard-stamped markings create a clean industrial look while the knurled ring adds tactile grip.
