I took off the lugs on my 2018 F150, and almost every nut stuck in the impact socket. I had to remove the socket from the wrench, and use a punch to extract the nut. How do you prevent this hassle? The nuts were not munged up as far as I could see.

I built a dolly to support my 8.5 foot, snow plow. I bought some casters off of Ebay. The seller swore they would support 1000 pounds. Just tried to move the snowplow, and the casters bent. The hubs are cheap, Chinese steel, and much too thin to support any sort of weight. Does anyone...
