Best. Day. EVER!
I use the Cal Custom ones from Summit Racing. they have a stainless steel cap that extends around the seat so they are pretty well sealed and inexpensive as well.

I had them on a '69 SS396 Chevelle.GM used them in the 70's-80's,
That's the design of the Mopar ones that are worse than worthless. The cap goes around the edge of the seat. It can't contact the seat itself as that would be an issue with proper torquing, IMO. But the failure is multi-faceted - they fail because often a tool will not properly fit the lug nut (there's always some slop) so the cap gets rounded or crushed.. and in salt areas, no matter how well you think it's sealed, salt will get in there and corrode the lug nut underneath.I use the Cal Custom ones from Summit Racing. they have a stainless steel cap that extends around the seat so they are pretty well sealed and inexpensive as well.
Nope but between this job and another today we broke a SO 1/2 ratchet, Matco, Mac and SO extensions and the pickle fork adapter for my air hammer.Holy Shìt there Skylark! I cant believe how much carnage that some beach caused and what it looks like in the end! WOW.
do you have a dollar amount on how many tools it broke? that's insane.
The margins are likely enormous...offset by a horde of non-paying deadbeats who buy on "Truck credit" and then quit or get fired, move, and don't pay.There aren't huge margins, volume is where it's at.
