So now that I ordered my Work Wheels and Work Lugs, I am thinking, there is no way I am letting these things get messed up. So my search began for some protective sockets. Be careful if ordering these from ebay as some have only outside protection and dont protect the lug. I have seen ones on ebay with lug protection too for around $70shipped for the set. Here is an example of what im talking about.

Whats funny is I spent about a half hour searching snap-on's site for them and couldnt find them in metric. Maybe I will ask the local snap-on guy next time I see him.

I know for a fact Snap-On, Mac, Napa, Carquest, and Matco all have coated sockets just like what you posted from Jegs.

your out of your mind....LOL

Most likely I will start putting them on with a ratchet and torque ratch now that I have wheels worth a damn. Either way, still need the coated socket. It sucks that the work lugs only come as 16 lugs and 4 locks, you dont have the option to get 20 regular lugs, so now I gotta buy two sets to get them. There is no way to not scratch the wheel lock (due to its design) and there is no coated socket for that.
