With a multitude of wheel safety devices available, one of the longest serving and most relied upon solutions has been the wheel nut indicator. Used effectively for over 20 years to provide a visual warning of any change in wheel nut integrity, giving drivers and mechanics that all-important early warning sign that a wheel nut has lost tension and could cause a serious accident if left unattended.

Whilst Propoint wheel nut indicators are not designed to prevent wheel loss, this early warning system can, and often does, prompt mechanics and drivers to carry out regular visual wheel safety checks that too often can be missed during busier times.

Designed to fit easily over correctly torqued wheel nuts, the Propoint indicator has a unique balancing tag feature which allows for simple removal and re-use of the product, saving both time and money by allows users to effortlessly reapply the indicators back onto wheel nuts after any regular routine wheel maintenance. To see for yourself how easy it is to fit and remove the Propoint product, why not check out our quick product introduction video here and see the Propoint in action.

Manufactured to exacting UK standards and available in a variety of bright visual colours and sizes, the Pro Point wheel nut indicators have been trusted as part of many wheel safety regimes for many years and are built to last.
