Hi All
Tried the obvious, but now don't know what to search for.
I am after the plastic sleeve that goes over the socket. Used to help protect alloys when removing/fastening wheel nuts.
Hopefully someone knows what I am on about and where to buy them from.
Cheers.

Iv got them as a set. The sleeves came on the socket.. didn't know you could get them seperate...
Or wrap some masking tape around the socket.... :happy2:
