I know a couple of you 5.5 gen owners have experienced this, stripping of the finish around the lug nut holes due to using a torque wrench or other sockets to get the lug nuts off. I was wondering if anyone knows of sockets that have some kind of rubber finish that is safe on the wheel finish that will prevent this stripping? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Vinyl covered is what you want. I don't see em in Harborfreight anymore but there's a picture on ebay right now. Stay away from that set if you need a 19mm one!

 

Are these the ones that are for impact guns? Or are there different ones? Or does it even matter? Thanks.

Are these the ones you are talking about http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=40035

 

There they are. Yes same for hand or impact guns. In fact the 3 piece is even a better deal and the one I got.
