It sure sounded like it in the first post.
If it was an impact socket the impact wrench is not working right. Kenneth, Please tell us that you're not THAT stupid. (fingers crossed) Bob, what's the question?

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.
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 I missed where he was stranded on the highway. In that event, yes, impact the hell outta it. A bit of judicious torch work can also pay dividends.

HF Icon are decent, I mostly still have US made craftsman. HF impacts are ok, they are in town if I break something. New craftsman are not any better than icon, icon are cheaper.

I was not stuck on the side of the highway.......And I was not using an impact........

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. Angel piss is what we call it. K works more often than not. Good stuff. How do you two apply Kroil to a lug nut on a trailer? No schit. How do you apply kroil on any capped lug nut? Squirt it all over the wheel and hope it makes it to the threads? 🙄

I've made a living with tools for over 30 years, Snap On or nothing, the rest are sheit in my opinion. You can sit here and name all the other bullsheit tool companies all you want, but there is nothing in a professionals hand like Snap On. 👍🏻

I buy Wright wrenches, sockets and drive tools, they are made Ohio USA. Summit Racing has them and the delivery is quick. These are good, I have also used Cornwell and Snap-offs as well. Proto Professional are good, the others are cheap junk. There are some tricks to getting stubborn nut's and bolts loose, going bigger, using more torque usually just breaks stuff. You should probably get a 3/8" and 1/2" Mayhew tool also.

I used a Harbor Freight on a battery impact wrench to get a lug nut off a wheel.. Wound up twisting the lug off which, for my purposes, worked just as well. Proud of my DeWalt 1/2" impact wrench and the HF deep sockets

Not all lug nuts are capped either.

HF has 2 levels, Icon and Pittsburgh. Icon is considerably more expensive. Home Depot carries Tekton, which is supposed to be pretty good, for about the same price as Icon. Tekton is imported from China by that scumbag Justin Amaish's family tool business. He is the Republican senator from Michigan who wanted Trump impeached the first time for tariffing the chinese junk his family pimps.

I wanna say that most of Proto's stuff is overbuilt and clumsy.
I don't generally have an issue with that in an impact socket, and the average guy will likely never break one made by proto.

I have an old set of U.S. made Williams impacts that fit like hand tool sockets. I've never broken one, but I am a bit more careful with them.

Not a single lug on any of my trailers are capped.
Get a cheap cordless impact wrench and a set of sockets from China Freight ( likely will be made in Korea) and keep it in the truck. Mine is a cheap Craftsman model and has handled the salt corroded lugs on my boat trailers without issue. Give them a squirt of Kroil or whatever if you have time.
