Why This Socket Matters
Aluminum wheels dominate modern vehicles, and standard impact sockets are too thick to work safely between spokes. This slim-wall socket bridges the gap with its narrower profile while the plastic sleeve absorbs vibration and prevents costly cosmetic damage to high-value wheels. Professional shops cannot complete wheel service without these, and the replaceable sleeve extends product lifespan—a genuine value-add for your customers.
Stock this size as part of your slim impact socket range to serve every wheel-removal and installation job with confidence.
