Can work as a tire iron replacement

Would Recommend

Was helped by an employee to use this metric socket as a replacement for a tire iron since vehicles use metric, it definitely fits the lug nuts. Buying the wrong socket can potentially damage the lug nuts so I recommend checking with a professional before purchasing the wrong size.

It works!

Would Recommend

Worked as expected. Only wish it was a 6 point vs 12 point. Used to remove oil filter cap on VW Atlas. Did the job.
