We have all been there. Where is there? It's where you are when you go to take the custom wheels off your car and can't find the magic key to get the lug lock off. In order to try to outsmart the wheel thieves, you've actually outsmarted yourself. The brains at Craftsman have come up with a set that includes three sockets with six of the most common lug sizes, sizes 19mm, 3/4 in. - 6 & 12 flute; 7/8 in. - 6 & 12 flute; 17mm - 6 & 12 flute. Using aggressive helical flutes that bite harder into the lug as more pressure is applied you can remove the one lug that is laughing at you. The set can also work on damaged or stripped out lugs. Once again the folks at Craftsman have done their research and come up with a product that you can use and will someday need in the real world. It even comes with a cool red pouch so no digging into all of your other sockets trying to find the ones you need.
