Overview
Whittet-Higgins BASM-08 Bearing assembly socket
The Whittet-Higgins BASM-08 is a metric assembly socket installation tool that encapsulates the outside diameter of a bearing locknut and exerts force on all four spanner slots at once, preventing the socket from slipping and avoiding installation damage to the locknut, bearing, and assembly. It is used with KM, KML, KMM, KMS, BM, BML, BMM, BMS, and BMT series bearing locknuts to provide more accurate adjusting and preloading of bearings and other power transmission components. A square drive connects the socket to standard ratchets, torque wrenches, and pneumatic drivers. The base socket is carbon steel with hardened tool steel pins, is rated to a maximum operating temperature of 300 degrees F, and is manufactured in the USA and RoHS compliant.

About the brand
About Whittet-Higgins
Bearing locknuts, lockwashers and retaining devices from Rhode Island since 1914.
Henry Whittet and John Higgins founded the Whittet-Higgins Manufacturing Company in 1914 in the basement of a mill on Congress Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island, making super-precision bearing retaining components and machined parts for local machine builders such as Brown & Sharpe.
In 1967 the company was sold to a young mechanical engineer, and in 1969 it moved to 33 Higginson Avenue in Central Falls, Rhode Island, where it still makes its products. Its first line of 66 locknuts and lockwashers has grown to more than 4,300 standard parts, made on robotic CNC systems.
Besides the standard N/AN and KM locknuts with W and MB lockwashers, Whittet-Higgins makes its own self-locking designs: Bearhug prevailing-torque locknuts, Bearlok, Shoelok and Tangentlok clamping locknuts, clampnuts and splitnuts, plus adapter sets, clamp collars and installation tools. The company is family owned and operated.
