United Kingdom 2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Orkney Grey
Sleeved Alloy Wheel Nut Sockets
I saw nylon sleeved wheel nut sockets mentioned in a thread on here a little while ago and will confess that I'd never heard of them before. Anyway, as my new 110 is fitted with some very shiny black Sawtooths, it sounded like a good idea and so I've just picked this up from good old eBay:

Its' claimed as suitable for use with an impact driver although I'm unlikely to do so. It will work with my standard 1/2" drive wheel brace and torque wrench, though and I thought it was pretty good for £6. Darren

Thanks Stacey 007 I have now ordered one.
I plan to remove my Black sawtooths this week and treat them to some Wonder wheels wheel sealant.
The Wonder wheels product seemed to have the best reviews with Auto Express mag when tested. 2016 Defender Landmark 90

I have the same socket as above. (Sealey)
Still use it, only thing I’ve had is the plastic sleeve partially crack!
Not enough to make it unusable, but annoying though all the same Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

Here's where I got mine, although appear to be out of stock at the moment:

For home use, they're all much the same though and a quick search shows lots of alternatives at different prices. Darren
