Title: Non-marring lug sockets?
Post by: Mac on February 28, 2011, 12:26:41 AM
Some time ago I saw lugnut sockets for sale somewhere that were lined (with urethane maybe)  to prevent damage to chrome lugs.
Anybody use them? Do they last and where can you gettem?

Vinyl jacket protects rims from scratches

Nylon insert protects lug nuts from scratches and damage to threads on the studs

Color coded for quick identification of sizes

Seven of the most common sizes—

17mm, 19mm, 21mm and 13/16", 7/8", 1" and 1-1/16"


19MM and 3/4" are almost the same exact size..  so one will fit the other..

one thing.. that a few people don't know..  when the chrome covers fall off OEM design 3/4 inch hex lug nuts.. they become 18MM ... so one should always keep an 18MM six point deep socket around..   trying to loosen one of these becomes a pain...   just thought i would kick that in...
