Lug nut impact socket

While rotating my tires, my 7/8” impact socket split down one side. Had to finish the job with standard sockets (dangerous due to potential shattering of socket) Next trip to Lowe’s I searched for just that size socket (didn’t want to purchase another entire set). The man covering tool sales saw me scratching my head as I searched. He very politely offered assistance! He had several drawers full of various individual tools available for purchase. Of course he had the one I needed! I’m all set fo...

good, but not right for my job

It was a little too big for the job I had in hand, but I can see it was well made to get the job done.

Kobalt Tools

I have been using Kobalt tools for some time. I have never been disappointed. This socket will be used while I'm on the rode. I'm sure it is a quality product I can rely on.
