Nylon Impact Sockets

[TRPLXL2]

I bought two sets of these last year, one in SAE and the other in METRIC. They sell them at Harbor Freight for only $27.99 a set, so for $60.00 I got the complete set! I had priced just ONE of these sockets from a reputable tool store, and they wanted $19.99 just for one. They are a must have if you have chrome lug nuts or chrome wheels, these sockets keep from getting scratches on your rims or breaking the plating on your chrome lug nuts! They are for an impact wrench too which is nice, they are nylon lined on the outside to protect the rim and they have nylon inserts to protect the lug nuts. The only problem I have found with these is if you have wheels that the lug nut opening isn't much bigger than the head of the lug nut these won't fit over the lug nut, this is because the sidewall is thicker than your standard impact socket. I have used them on Cragar SS wheels, Torque Thrust wheels, GM factory wheels, and they worked like a charm and I still haven't broken or cracked one yet! Unfortunately they won't work on my Weld Racing Velocity 6 wheels, because of the recessed design. Here's a picture of the sockets
