We all know the difference between a 6 sided socket and a 12 sided socket, and why we should only be using a 6 sider on lug nuts, right?
It makes a huge difference on the longevity of a lug nut for sure. I havent run into an issue with them either.

they should be 19 or 21 mm, and always use a 6point socket when available, i hate those 12 points...i use them as stripped nut removers only, unless you haappen to have a 12point head on the bolt(certain valve covers on a SBC)

They are part # 91198HT, but you can find them cheaper elsewhere now, I've seen them at $1.26.
Those are the ones I bought. Just a different style but through that website..it was about $40 shipped. Worth it IMO
