Abstract

Stopper pins are arranged on a path of movement of respective reaction-force receiving cam plates and are urged by urging forces of compression coil springs in a direction in which the stopper pins project from circular holes. As a solenoid is energized, the stopper pins are accommodated into the circular holes. The solenoid is operated by means of a stopper switch, and the solenoid in an energized state allows each combination socket to be fitted over a corresponding wheel-mounting nut. With the combination sockets fitted over all of the wheel-mounting nuts, the operation of the stopper switch causes the stopper pins to move to a projected position to prevent rotation of the reaction-force receiving cam plates, so that high torque is imparted to transmission shafts, allowing four wheel-mounting nuts to be simultaneously tightened or loosened.
