Non maring lug nut impact socket?

Oldguysrule · 04-29-2020, 08:37 PM

What are folks who take their wheels off a lot using for impact sockets that don't mar the wheel finish? Are there any that are also easier on the black BMW lug nuts as well?

I have several of these for the bmw and mercedes. Seems to work well for past 2 years.

You could just wrap the socket in some painters tape.

I was looking for one where the nylon sleeve doesn't get bunged up and then fall off. Maybe a thin wall deep socket with felt wrap is the way to go?

They sell them on Amazon too. Singles and sets of multiple sizes.

I use this as well, works great and really holds the bolts nice as you line up and balance the rim in mid air.

Im trying a set of 3 in the sizes I needed for my fleet. With my cars and our kids who are staying with us for now, 5 vehicles to care for. Thanks for the replies.

Is that a socket for an impact wrench? The link doesn't indicate that it is. Maybe you've used it with an impact wrench and it's ok?
