It's a 1 1/16" socket. I'm not sure anyone actually torques them down. I just use a 1/2" breaker bar and just get it tight. It does not need to be overly tight, but just enough with the breaker bar.

Aren't the yellow prop wrenches plastic? Just curious how much torque props need if the wrenches are plastic.

Torq value is 55 ft./lbs.

That's tight with a small umph.

Yellow's are plastic. They are good in a pinch for a few uses. They float.
