The Sunex Tools 28492 is a professional-grade 1/2" drive x 3/4" extra thin wall wheel/nut protector designed to safeguard delicate wheel finishes during automotive service. This specialized impact socket ensures that lug nuts can be efficiently removed and installed without marring or scratching high-polished, painted, or alloy wheels. It is an essential addition for any technician focused on precision and protection in professional vehicle maintenance.

Key Features

• Extra Thin Wall Design: Engineered with a thin wall profile, this wheel protector impact socket allows for easy access to lug nuts in tight or recessed areas, preventing contact and damage to the wheel's finish.
• Durable CR-MO Alloy Steel Construction: Manufactured from robust Chrome-Molybdenum (CR-MO) alloy steel, it offers superior strength and durability, making it ideal for high-impact applications and ensuring a long service life. CR-MO steel is particularly chosen for impact sockets due to its higher absorbing ability and resistance to impact loads compared to standard Cr-V steel.
• Protective Outer Sleeve and Insert: Features a durable, non-marring outer sleeve and a protective insert to cushion and shield both the wheel and lug nuts from scratches, dings, and other damage during use.
• 6-Point Configuration: The 6-point design provides a secure grip on fasteners, enhancing torque transfer and reducing the risk of slippage and rounding.
• Fully Guaranteed: Backed by a comprehensive guarantee, this tool reflects Sunex Tools' commitment to quality and reliability for professional users.
• Impact Rated: Suitable for use with 1/2" drive impact wrenches, drivers, and adapters, meeting the demands of rigorous shop environments.
