3-Piece Thin Wall Lug Nut Socket Set with Wheel Protection Sleeves
Protect your wheels while installing and removing lug nuts with this 3-piece thin wall lug nut socket set. Designed for automotive wheel service, these deep 6-point sockets feature external protective sleeves that help reduce the risk of scratching or damaging finished wheel lug holes during routine wheel removal and installation.
The set includes three of the most commonly used metric lug nut sizes—17mm, 19mm, and 21mm—making it a versatile addition to a home garage, professional automotive shop, detailing facility, or tire service toolbox.
Protect Your Wheels While Removing Lug Nuts
Standard metal sockets can come into contact with the inside of a wheel’s lug hole, potentially scratching or marking the finish. These wheel protector lug nut sockets feature an external protective sleeve designed to provide a barrier between the steel socket and the wheel.
This makes the set especially useful when working with alloy, aluminum, painted, powder-coated, and other finished wheels where protecting the appearance of the lug holes is important.
Thin Wall Deep Socket Design
The thin wall socket design provides better access to lug nuts located inside tighter or recessed lug holes where larger conventional sockets may have clearance issues.
The deep socket configuration provides additional reach, while the 6-point design provides secure engagement with compatible hex lug nuts.
Whether you’re performing a tire rotation, changing wheels, replacing lug nuts, or performing routine brake and suspension service, these protective sockets help you work around finished wheels with greater care.
17mm, 19mm & 21mm Lug Nut Sockets
The set includes three popular metric sizes:
- 17mm Lug Nut Socket
- 19mm Lug Nut Socket
- 21mm Lug Nut Socket
Each socket is color coded for quick identification and laser etched with its size, making it easier to grab the correct socket from your toolbox.
Heavy-Duty Chrome Molybdenum Steel Construction
These lug nut sockets are constructed from CR-MO chrome molybdenum steel for dependable strength and durability. Each socket features a 1/2-inch drive for compatibility with appropriate hand-operated drive tools.
The combination of heavy-duty steel construction and an exterior protective sleeve provides the strength needed for wheel service while helping protect the surrounding wheel surface.
