lug nut socket
So likely a basic/noob question, but I want to carry the correct sized socket for my lug nuts on my trailer and tow vehicle tires...will shallow sockets work or do I need deep sockets? Thank you.
Forum Discussion
I carry a 21mm deep socket for the truck. The trailer a 3/4" or a 19mm works, but is just a tad loose..
I have a broken torque wrench that is use (1/2" drive) and a cheater bar if needed.
I just leave them in the back of the truck. I also have one of the old X lug wrench with various sizes to help someone else if needed..
I like to go to thrift stores, so I try to check out the old tool sections and see if I can find any cheap sockets or wrenches that I can keep in different places.
I do have a functional torque wrench and will use that too, but if on the road, I just get the tire changed and on my way. I'll deal with the torque later.
Good luck! Mitch
