19 mm non marring lug nut socket

They do not make them in 3/4". Only 19 mm which is the same size. Why they do not make them in 3/4" I do not know but that is how it is. My question is who makes the best product. I see Titan in the Summit online parts list as well as one listed as the Summit brand. It has a built in extension. If I can't find a better one I will probably buy this one. I see the Titan one in the Amazon site as well. I have never used a non marring socket. I have closed end lug nuts on my '53 Chevy truck and they are longer as well. Has anyone used one of these sockets? If so how well do they work? Is there a better one out there that I need to get instead of the two I mentioned.

Re: 19 mm non marring lug nut socket

Plenty of 19 mm = 3/4 inch sockets out there. According to this chart 19 MM is 3/4 inch.

Re: 19 mm non marring lug nut socket

What I was referring to is the fact that you will not find a non marring lug nut socket in the 3/4" size. They are all 19 mm. I know they are the same size. My point is you can find 3/4" deep well sockets all day long as well as 19 mm deep well sockets. You will not find the same with non marring lug nut sockets. Actually the 3/4" size fits the lug nut a little more snug. I know because I put both on one of my lug nuts. So, the bottom line is I will order a 19 mm non marring lug nut socket. My question is are there any out there that are better than the Titan brand or the Summit brand? BTW thanks for the chart. I have one around here somewhere but I cannot find it when I need it. I will print out the one you sent me, laminate it and hang it on the wall. Then when I am not looking for it I will find the one I had. Just like the 3/4"/19 mm deal that is the way it is. Again thanks.
