Double-Sided Wheel Nut Socket for Damaged Wheel Nuts, 16.5 mm & 17.5 mm

Certain wheel nuts are manufactured with permanently attached chrome caps. Over time, corrosion and repeated use of impact wrenches can cause these caps to swell by up to 0.5 mm, preventing standard sockets from fitting correctly.

In other cases, the chrome cap may be missing, leaving the wheel nut with a smaller hex size.

This double-sided socket is designed to solve both problems, featuring a 16.5 mm end for wheel nuts with missing chrome caps and a 17.5 mm end for swollen 17 mm chrome-capped wheel nuts.
