Review on CTA Tools 4221 Socket 18 5Mm by Brian Sitton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This socket saved me some money.

My wife has a 2017 Ford Fusion and for some reason Ford decided to fit a two piece nut. Waste of money but apparently someone at the counter thought this was a great idea. The problem is when you take it somewhere to spin the tires they always use a percussion gun to remove the nuts and put them on. Here's the problem, the impact rounds the edges of the hub and you can't put a regular head on a nut without smashing it in. Because of this, I already had a dealer give me a whole new set of nuts. While browsing various aftermarket replacement forums I came across someone using a half size metric socket and it immediately slipped and removed the damaged nut. So I ordered it and it worked great. Now, until I find a good aftermarket replacement, I don't have to sweat out the damaged nuts. I hope Ford gets rid of her.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
