🔧 Enhanced SEO: CTA Tools 4218 Lug Nut Socket for Mercedes Review

Works as advertised. Save the eyebolts and order this tool. Tire shops tend to just put regular bushings on them instead of custom mbz eyebolts and ruin them. Why mbz decided on a special wheel nut is another question.

I don't understand why Mercedes use these 'flower heads' but you need this type of head. It protects your expensive wheels. I have two, one for the car and one for the tool box. If you have factory locks you will also need a standard 17mm socket.

The first nut was tight but after polishing the inside of the sleeve a bit from the start I was able to pull it on and off any jam nut problems. I have a 2014 GLK350 4Matic SUV with a stock flower nut.

You won't find a better price for this socket. The one on the tool cart costs $37. However, I had to scrape some of the paint in the socket because the gaps were so narrow that the screw couldn't come loose once it was removed. but after that it worked. I would recommend it.

got stuck in traffic with my Mercedes ml350 because the last person to change my tires didn't put the tool back in my car like when I bought new tires from the national chain , the person who installed them instead used a different tool and ended up ripping them all off. I bought a few of these to make sure this never happens again. $350 to replace all screws

The shop once damaged the bolts when trying to remove a wheel on a Mercedes ML63 with a regular socket. The chrome cover came off and the head began to peel off. This was a problem because putting the screw back in would do more damage and replacing it again would cause more headaches. Glad I had a spare screw with me. So I bought this outlet to save myself all the hassle next time. Haven't used it yet but I checked the fit and it's great.
