Protective impact socket with plastic cover

When changing wheels with alloy rims, you want to avoid the socket scratching or damaging them. A socket with a protective cover has a sleeve around the outside, so the rim stays well protected while you loosen and tighten the wheel nuts or bolts.

This category offers protective sockets from Seneca with a 1/2 inch drive. They are available individually in 17, 19 and 21 mm, the most common sizes for wheel nuts and wheel bolts. You can also choose a three-piece set with all three sizes. The sockets are made of chrome molybdenum steel and are intended for garages, tyre services and anyone who changes wheels themselves.
