A wheel securing axle comprising:

• a shaft that includes a first end portion, a second end portion including a thread, and a shaft axis;
• a washer rotationally supported by the first end portion of the shaft;
• and
• a click mechanism having a torque threshold so that the click mechanism generates clicks when a torsion moment between the washer and the shaft exceeds the torque threshold, wherein
• the shaft includes a shaft opening formed in an end surface of the first end portion,
• the wheel securing axle further includes a socket fitted to the shaft opening,
• the click mechanism includes
• at least one first click element formed on one of the socket and a housing,
• at least one second click element formed on the other of the socket and the housing, and
• an urging member that is arranged in the shaft opening and urges the socket toward the housing in an axial direction so that the first click element engages the second click element, wherein
• the socket includes a socket opening and an outward flange,
• the housing includes an inward flange that includes a center hole allowing a rotation tool to physically access the socket opening, and
• the at least one first click element and the at least one second click element are formed on the outward flange of the socket and the inward flange of the housing respectively.
