1/2″ Drive Impact Soft Sockets are the perfect tool for removing wheel nuts and studs from alloy wheels without the risk of damaging the wheel or its paint.
Alloy wheels are sometimes produced with very narrow stud holes with minimal clearance between the nut and wheel surface. This gap is further reduced when using impact sockets (due to nature of the thicker wall construction required for these types of sockets) but this can be mitigated by the use of an Impact soft socket.
1/2″ Drive Impact Soft Sockets are made with a polymer outer sleeve that covers the sockets walls that proved protection to the alloy wheel should the socket come in contact with the wheel itself.
