MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp. has expanded the lineup of its Shockwave Impact Duty sockets with the addition of the Shockwave Impact Duty ½-inch Drive Lug Nut Wheel Sockets designed for tire installations and removals.
The lug-nut wheel sockets feature a durable, non-marring sleeve to protect rims during tire changes while ensuring the durability of the sleeve, the company said.
The sockets are designed with an Armor-Guard sleeve, made of a premium, durable plastic covering for lasting protection, the company said, noting this feature protects against crackling or shredding, which is a common frustration mechanics and automotive technicians experience during wheel installations and removals.
The sleeves are color-coded gray and red to distinguish between metric and SAE sizing and include stamped, ink-filled markings on the socket for size identification.
The sockets have a plastic insert, preventing the lug nut from marring while being used. Constructed with thin walls, the sockets are optimized for users to access the tight spaces around lug nuts.
Optimized for use with 1/2-inch-drive impact wrenches, drivers and adapters, the sockets feature a dual-hole design and ring groove for socket attachment and removal from the tool.
The new lug nut wheel sockets meet ASME industry standards for thin wall sockets to ensure proper fit to the fastener, the company said.
