Product Description

Brief Overview

This 3-piece impact socket set delivers professional-grade protection for aluminum wheel applications. Each socket features a durable Cr-Mo steel construction paired with a removable white plastic protective sleeve—eliminating the risk of marring or scratching aluminum rims during bolt removal and installation. The elongated design accommodates a wider range of rim profiles, making successive use across different vehicle models practical and efficient. Color-coded socket bodies (red, gold, blue) enable rapid size selection on the job, reducing downtime and improving workflow efficiency.

For shops requiring a broader range of sizes, extended 1/2-inch drive impact socket sets are also available to complement this specialized rim-focused kit.

Key Features

• 3 Elongated Long Impact Sockets (17mm, 19mm, 21mm) in 1/2" drive format
• Removable Protective Sleeves – White plastic covers slip over the working end to shield aluminum rims from contact damage
• Cr-Mo Steel Construction – Impact-resistant material engineered to withstand repeated striking without deformation
• Color-Coded Socket Bodies – Red, gold, and blue anodized finishes enable instant visual identification
• 6-Point Drive Design – Delivers positive engagement and minimizes bolt rounding on standard fasteners
• 150mm Overall Length – Extended shank accommodates deep-set or recessed wheel bolts
• Compact Blue Carrying Case – Molded storage solution with individual socket compartments and secure latch

Business Advantages for Resellers

Margin Opportunity: This is a specialized, consumable-adjacent product line. Shops that mount wheels regularly will require periodic replacement of protective sleeves and may purchase additional socket sets as a maintenance item.

Customer Retention: Positioning this set as a "rim-safe solution" differentiates your offering from generic impact sockets. Shops avoid costly refinishing or wheel replacement by using dedicated protective covers—a clear value proposition that justifies premium pricing.

Repeat Orders: The removable sleeves encourage repeat purchases without full socket replacement, building customer loyalty and predictable inventory turnover.

Application-Specific Selling: This is not a general-purpose tool—it targets a specific pain point (aluminum rim damage). Market it directly to wheel service centers, tire shops, and automotive service facilities.
