Plastic Lined Lug Nut Sockets

[pirate]

Does anyone know if Craftsman makes a plastic lined 12mm lug nut socket? I thought purchasing one of these sockets to protect chrome plated lug nuts would be somewhat easy. However I'm having a difficult time finding one and have been greeted with blank stares and people telling me they have never heard of such a thing. Anyone know of a readily availible source Craftsman or other?

Did you mean 21mm?

I didn't see any Craftsman internally lined, but here are some other brand I did find.

I think the ones I have seen are aluminum with plastic on the outside to protect the wheel.

Someone else mentioned in another thread to take your impact socket you have now and slip some heat shrink on it. I thought it was a good idea!?

edit* I thought you were trying to protect the rim, after reading again I noticed you are trying to protect the lug nuts. Sorry I guess the shrink tube wouldn't help you.

goto www.torquestick.com and look for the genuis ones they come with plastic inserts on the outside and an insert for the top of the lug nut, also they come with spares covers.

The above link is a standard lug nut protective socket set. If you really do want a 12mm protective socket, try Mac tools. They make a complete set of protective sockets.

My mistake! The lug nuts go on a 93 Chevy S-10 pickup. The stud/thread size is 12mm but the socket size is 13/16".
