Lug Socket

Yes.

 

We have specialized sockets like that from Hill Engineering, in stock at Ricambi America: CS01 : https://www.ricambiamerica.com/cs-01-chrome-saver-socket.html This design is a little different -- it is an aluminum head, with rubber insert, on a steel body.

 

I bought an entire metric set off Amazon for $35. Only trick is to find one with a 22mm.

 

I just purchased a 22mm nylon-insert socket for my 360 Spider on Amazon.com. I Believe it was around $15.00. It is similar to other nylon sockets that I had previously purchased. They work great.

 

Do you have a link .. searched Amazon and did not find anything like that ..thanks

My 360 Spider has a torque setting recommendation of 76 ft lbs. This socket works well.

 

I have similar to those you listed but was looking for ones that the inserts surround the lug nut surfaces

They're really not hard to find. Here is a 5piece set for $25 that protects wheels and lugs:
Cartman Cr-Mo 5 Sockets 1/2" Drive Impact Socket Set with Protective Sleeves https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1J043Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_im8BAbBM12A0Y

 

Those are the ones I have but the inside only has plastic at the end ..the lug nut sides still touch metal ..I have seen where the inside wall is plastic or even felt and the lug nuts never have metal to metal contact ...thoughts ?

I have this one. It's great! I think it's better than the ones with plastic inserts. A tad pricey though.

 

I had it too. Lost it though. It's more expensive because it's not mass produced and not made in China. Hill makes quality tool.

 

I have titanium lugs on mine so its a different tool.

But yes, for regular wheel lug bolts I recommend using a sleeved socket.

I got a full set from Griot's Garage years ago, that included a 22mm socket. Also had a 17mm for my BMW...and several others in SAE and Metric.
Here is an inexpensive one on Amazon in 22mm https://www.amazon.com/Non-Marring-70023-Protective-Protects-Identification/dp/B017MXJHLK

Like Dan, I have titanium on my 430 Scuderia, and have a different type now.

 

For the scud do you use the one that is in the tire change kit with car or did you buy something else

Previous owner bought a Craftsman Allen socket in 1/2" drive. I keep it in the trunk. I never looked at what is in the tire change kit...

 

Do you know what size?

Looks like 17mm.

At Snap On you can buy non marring inserts for your sockets. I used them with my sockets that have the nylon on the outside so I cover both the lug and the rim.

 

Could you provide a picture?
I thought that was the idea of these being aluminum (softer than the steel bolt) and with nylon outer, protects both the wheel and bolt.

Never mind, found them online https://store.snapon.com/Non-marRing-Metric-Socket-Inserts-C754106.aspx So is the idea you put the insert in a socket the next size or two up?

 

Its more than a size. I can't remember how many sizes up your socket has to be. I have never had to have a 22mm insert.

I would call and they should be able to help you out.

from the link I provided, it appears they don't go up that large in size. From the listing, it appears the largest they have is 17mm and requires a 22mm socket to use.
