19mm extra-long deep socket
need to find a 19mm extra long lug nut socket to reach over 82mm stud conversion. i can see that both Turner & ECS list the Schwaben Protecta set of three (17, 19 & 21mm) at 50 bux or so, but i'd obviously prefer to pay only for the 19mm socket that I actually need, and i'd really like the nylon sleeve. anybody able to suggest a source for this? tyvm.

Thanks to both who took the time to respond to this. I've been using the Ares protected 17 mm socket for years, and of course it works very well on BMW lug bolts. My current issue however is stud conversion with tuner lug nuts. The ARES socket is 85mm long with an internal shoulder that prevents it from reaching over my studs. The 19mm Schwaben socket, also protected with a nylon sleeve, is 150 mm long and works just fine on my 82mm studs. I'm just too cheap to buy the whole set. Just thought someone might have a better source.

mrgraceco DOT com. Be advised though: these are titanium, you can never ever use power tools on these. To order these, find what you want on their website then email them regarding availability and application. The set in the picture is usually backordered, but I had no problem getting mine. In the email exchange, Chad said they were expected in 10 days and exactly 10 days later I had them. If you search this forum you'll find plenty of negative comments regarding titanium nuts/studs. I suspect however that a lot of that is related to impact tools and poor technique. Fact is Lamborghini come from the factory with titanium, I had a 98 540i sport with composite BBS wheels that also came with titanium lug bolts. I owned that car for 17 years and never had any problems with the nuts.
