Why Choose This Over Separate Sockets
Traditional approaches require multiple sockets and tool changes during each wheel service. This combo socket eliminates tool fumbling and speeds up the process while laser-etched markings remain visible after years of use. The 6-point hex distributes stress evenly across nut faces, while the 4-point square provides maximum contact on inner fasteners.

How does this compare to using separate 38mm and 19mm sockets?
This combo socket eliminates tool changes between inner and outer nuts, reducing service time by approximately 50% compared to separate sockets. It also prevents lost sockets in busy shop environments and reduces the risk of cross-threading from hurried tool swaps during wheel service procedures.
Will this socket work with cordless 1-inch impact wrenches?
Yes, the ball detent recess securely holds to both pneumatic and cordless 1-inch drive impact wrenches including modern high-torque models. The socket is engineered to handle the torque output of professional cordless tools while maintaining secure attachment during overhead and side-angle work positions.
What vehicles use this dual Budd wheel nut configuration?
Most Class 6-8 commercial trucks, city buses, delivery vehicles, and older heavy-duty equipment with traditional Budd-style wheels use this 38mm outer and 19mm inner nut setup. This includes many municipal fleet vehicles, tractor-trailers, and specialized commercial equipment requiring dual-wheel assemblies for load distribution.
How long will this socket last under regular commercial use?
With proper care and regular cleaning, this chrome moly steel socket typically lasts 5-10 years in commercial shops performing daily wheel services. The drop-forged construction resists wear and deformation. The lifetime limited warranty covers manufacturing defects and workmanship issues but excludes normal wear from extended use.
Does the black phosphate coating affect socket fit on nuts?
No, the black phosphate coating is applied after precision machining, so it does not alter the socket's internal dimensions or tolerances. The coating actually helps prevent corrosion buildup that could cause sockets to stick on nuts, while maintaining the precise fit required for proper torque transfer and fastener protection.
