Review on ๐Ÿ’ช Efficiently Remove Damaged Lug Nuts with Astro Pneumatic Tool 7404 Flank Bite Socket Set & Protective Sleeves by Logan Barela

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good build and good price.

Seemed to be well done, but this time they didn't help me. I needed A 20mm for the wheel locks on my Hyundai because the "mechanic" didn't put the lock bag back in the car when I changed my tires in December. I had to work on the brakes and I was very surprised when the bag was nowhere to be found and of course the store where I traded didn't know anything! Nothing! I need to put this show on the road, so I took a chance that a 12-point outlet and my DeWalt 24-volt stun gun would do the job. I go to auctions, so over the year I've built up an impressive collection of sockets and found that 3/4 inch fits a lock. I wasn't able to install a shock socket, but a standard socket will work. I had to use 3 sockets as 2 were picked but I removed the locks. A socket removed the rear wheel locks, but the locks were stuck in the socket. Luckily I have a hydraulic press and was able to remove the stuck lock. I will be leaving Astro Pnumatic as they are scheduled to pursue other jobs in the future. That. Branding is also helpful as cheap sockets are usually made of softer steel and the head can crack or break and the edges can curl up before the lock is released. I have used A Craftsman, Thorson and A Taiwan Special. The Craftsman held up to 2 locks but the Taiwanese special cracked and the Thorson cracked and the edges were rounded. I am the future, I take off the locks before I change the tires. Most stores near me offer lifetime free tire changes or free oil changes, and since I'm old and don't want to change my oil or tires in the winter, I often use out-of-store services.

Pros
