Review on CTA Tools 4221 Socket 18 5Mm by Mark Erandio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for lug nuts and accessories

Purchased to remove the wheel eyelets on a friend's 2014 Jeep Cherokee. were very tight. Many of the caps were swollen. After drilling and removing the third cap we decided to order a new set of grommets and I bought this head just to see if it would be quicker than drilling/removing the caps. DONE THE WORK ON TIME. I didn't have to drill any other covers. Just hit the head with a hammer and use a punch bar with a small extension to unscrew the bolt. Had a very stubborn one and 18.5mm did the trick. If you bang your head against some crappy two piece eyebolts or a swollen Jeep/Crysler/GM nut or bolt head I wouldn't hesitate to spend $15 on this head. ** something to salvage Remember you will need a mallet or mallet to pound the nest over the old swollen/crumpled caps. And due to the reversibility of the socket, a slight lengthening is required. If you have those accessory tools, this socket will do the job just fine.

Pros
  • For use with a 1/2 in. long shank impact tool with extension
Cons
  • Durable
