I have never seen impact sockets that weren't 6 point! Or 8 point! For occasional use the Harbor Freight Pittsburgh will last you a lifetime!

When it comes to nuts, lug nuts are low on the list of finesse socket work.

While you may get by a few times using a chrome socket on a impact wrench,they will crack/split on you one day.
I have several brands of impact sockets i use and some are cheap.
The S&K i have are doing the same job that ATD sockets do,ATD is cheaper.

If it's really stuck you need a weighted impact socket, the kind you use for crank bolts

I have found...anything made in the USA to be good stuff, I don't remember breaking any socket while hanging off a 4ft or longer snipe.

#clearance Especially on the new mag wheels, with the nuts inch and a half in the wheel! I've had to chuck a couple sockets in thr lathe and trim to fit.

Anymore, I don’t screw around with stuff like that. If something doesn’t break loose with what I consider reasonable torque, I go straight to the Kroil and give it a dose.

On a lighter note, I didn't break any tools today, while getting my old ford flathead V8, on the road again today! Back to 22 a gallon average! Even if it is 68 years old!

It sure sounded like it in the first post.
If it was an impact socket the impact wrench is not working right.

Harbor Freight impact sockets. Cheap and they hold up.
I've wailed on them with various impact drivers, cordless and pneumatic, and haven't broke one.
Kroil is good schit. Hose down the lug and stud, give it a couple raps, and repeat a few times. Drink a beer, let it soak overnight, and try again in the morning.

All tire installers should use torque sticks, then the lug nut issue's become few and far between!

Sounds like a great idea when you are trying to change a tire beside the highway I’d rather snap the stud with a rattle gun and be on my way
