I used this to remove a frozen lug nut on my daughter's jeep. Some idiot had put the lugs on with an airgun. I was able to get the others off by standing and bouncing on a breaker bar, but not this one. I snapped three sockets and adapters on it. My tire guys couldn't even get it off with his airgun.<br /> When I first got this socket, I discovered that the drive size for the socket is only 3/8". I was using a half inch breaker bar, so I had to use an adapter on the socket. The adapter snapped off right away. Because the socket has a hexagonal end, I decided to try putting a giant wrench on the end. However, it dawned on me that I could just put a large 1/2" drive socket over the hex. Then, using my breaker bar and a length of pipe, I was able to unscrew the lug nut.<br /> I gave this socket 4 out of 5 stars because, to break loose frozen nuts, it really should have a 1/2" drive instead of a 3/8". The curved interior lobes held well enough when driven on with a hammer. They destroyed the lug nut, but what can you expect.
