Any feedback on Titan's wheel protector lug nut set?

[qqzj]

I am looking at these sets now:

Normally, I would think Sunex's brand is a bit stronger. (Is it correct?) However, I need a 22mm socket. Titan has it and Sunex does not. I searched Amazon it is surprising hard to find a 22mm thin wall lug nut socket with protector. So, the question now is whether the Titan is good enough? Any feedbacks?

Both cost less than $30. If there are better choices in this price range, please do recommend. Thanks!

Ko-ken for sockets is always my first pick

If you only need 22mm, it's in your price range

I also like that you don't need a small extension for the Torque wrench to clear your knuckles away from the body of the vehicle

I get this might be a pro- tool detail and it might not be that important if your a DIYer

I've been using a 22mm Titan on a Honda for 4 years. So far so good.

I need 19, 21 and 22. The one you linked doesn't have a protector. Wondering what cars use 17mm.

Do you use a regular Titan impact socket, or this one? Do you use it with impact wrench? Lots of reviews say it is broken first time

Just got done with some testing on the Titan thin wall protective and it held up fine to several different impact wrenches, and made the same overall power as a standard wall deep impact socket

German cars use 17mm for the most part, IME, usually lug bolts.

Cool. Have you put the video on youtube? I heard titan is not friendly with warranty. So I am a bit hesitant on this one. Btw, titan also has the longer version like koken. They call that xl style.

No, probably be awhile longer. Still working on that episode.

I would say if you use them on a breaker bar or ratchet of any kind you will be fine with the Titan. I however wouldn't want to use it on a impact. I do however suggest looking into Ko ken like someone else said they have a impact socket set with the sleeves on it but you will have to order the 22mm separately. I use MAC tools chrome shallow sockets I made a set from work 17mm, 19,, 21 and 22mm those are my lug nut removal sockets. They are don't touch the rim when using. I don't like the protective sockets much but that's my personal opinion.
