Good find on the Socket! 1/2" drive around the 7/8" size is easy to find, and larger 3/4" drive sockets are easy too.
Most of us on RV.net know it's a good idea to check lug nuts at home, so we know how they run and if we can work them when we need to. I doubt the general public thinks of it. Anymore, when I take the cars in for tire rotation/repair/purchase, I take the wheel covers off and then check every fastener, every wheel. I've found 'em finger tight and over tight on the same wheel. Got the van back one time and the nuts were so tight I got the 3/4 breaker bar to use with a 1/2-drive socket to get them loose.
In the rain, side of the road, in the dark... No time/place for on-the-job training.
With that wrench set you'll be able to show any Ford lug nut...Who's Boss!
