SINGLE socket lug removal!

Postby pfarber » Wed Nov 21, 2012 1:26 am

Since I have 3 truck, 9 axles, and boat load of tires to deal with finding the easiest way to deal with lugs has become a higher priority than I ever thought it would be.

The three options are:

Budd wrench: Nostalgic, but slow and doesn't handle rusted/painted threads very well.

Impact sockets: fast, easy, but having both a 13/16th and 1 1/2 impact socket can run $50+

SINGLE socket: Sunex 4826C 3/4" Drive Budd Wheel Impact Socket 1-1/2" X 13/16" for $22 delivered!

Its a single impact socket with both nut sizes in one. The outer nut socket for the 1 1/2 inch is not 'full length' so it will not engage the inner nuts 13/16ths head.

BRILLIANT!
