Socket Size and Protection
The Steelman 95615-03 is a 13/16 inch sleeved socket designed for automotive wheel service. Its 6-point chrome-moly steel construction fits standard lug nuts and works with any 1/2-inch drive impact wrench or breaker bar. The purple anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and quick visual identification in a tool set. This tool suits technicians and DIY owners who need to remove wheels without marring finishes.
Protective Sleeve Design
An outer polyethylene sleeve and an inner insert create dual buffers between the steel socket and the wheel surfaces. These features prevent scratches on alloy wheels and protect lug nut faces during removal and installation. The 85mm overall length reaches fasteners seated in deep wheel recesses. The impact-rated construction handles high torque without compromising the protective sleeves.
Identification and Durability
The anodized purple coating serves as a colour code for fast size selection while adding a layer of rust and corrosion resistance. No separate case or organiser is included with the socket. Buyers who need a full set of sleeved sizes or a storage rail will have to source those separately. The single socket delivers focused protection for one common lug nut size.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 13/16 inch sleeved socket on my 1/2 inch drive impact wrench, and what step do people often miss?
Slide the socket onto the 1/2 inch drive anvil until the detent ball clicks into the socket's retention groove; the step often missed is verifying the purple anodized sleeve sits flush against the anvil face so the polyethylene insert aligns with the lug nut.
What maintenance or replacement will the 13/16 inch sleeved socket need over time?
Inspect the outer polyethylene sleeve and inner insert before each use; replace the socket if the sleeve shows cracks, deep gouges, or the insert no longer cushions the lug nut faces, as damaged buffers defeat the wheel-protection purpose.
What limit appears first when using the 13/16 inch sleeved socket continuously with an impact wrench?
The polyethylene sleeve and insert heat up and soften faster than the chrome-moly steel body, so prolonged high-torque cycles will degrade the protective buffers before the 6-point drive geometry wears.
