FAQs
What vehicles is this socket designed for?
This socket is specifically designed for 21mm wheel nuts and is recommended for Hyundai models like the i30 and Tucson.
Can I use this socket on any 21mm wheel nut?
While it fits 21mm nuts, its special profile is optimized for Hyundai. It may not fit aftermarket wheels or nuts with non-standard designs.
What is the purpose of the protective sleeve?
The protective sleeve prevents the metal socket from scratching or damaging the finish of your alloy wheels during use.
Is this socket suitable for impact wrenches?
Yes, the 1/2" drive makes it compatible with impact wrenches, but use caution to avoid over-torquing or damaging the socket or wheel nut.
How long is the socket?
The socket measures 85mm in length.
What does it mean that this is a consumable item?
It means that like many tools subjected to wear and tear, it is expected to wear out over time with regular use and may eventually need replacement.
Can I use this socket for general tire changes?
It can be used for general tire changes on compatible Hyundai models, but its specific design makes it ideal for alloy wheel protection.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit wheel nut properly
Ensure you are using the correct 21mm socket and that it is compatible with your specific vehicle's wheel nut design. Check for any debris inside the socket or on the wheel nut.
Protective sleeve is damaged or missing
If the sleeve is damaged, it may compromise the wheel's finish. Consider replacing the socket if the sleeve's protective function is compromised. Inspect the wheel nut for damage caused by the damaged sleeve.
Socket seems loose on the drive tool
Ensure the 1/2" drive tool is clean and the socket is fully engaged. If the socket's internal drive receptor is worn, the socket may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This socket requires a standard 1/2 inch drive tool, such as a ratchet, breaker bar, or impact wrench. Simply attach the socket to the drive tool. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive tool before applying torque.
Compatibility: This socket is specifically designed for 21mm wheel nuts. It is recommended for Hyundai models such as the i30 and Tucson. Always verify the wheel nut size on your vehicle before use to ensure compatibility.
Care: After each use, clean the socket to remove dirt and debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

As a consumable item, regular inspection for wear is advised.
