Can I use this socket with an impact wrench?
While the socket's durable construction can withstand impact use, always check the impact wrench's torque output to avoid over-torquing the hub nut.

Troubleshooting
Socket slips or rounds off the nut.
Ensure the socket is fully engaged on the nut. Check for any damage to the nut or socket. Use a breaker bar for additional leverage if needed. Consider using penetrating oil if the nut is corroded.
Socket doesn't fit the nut.
Double-check that the hub nut is indeed 41mm. Verify that there is no debris preventing the socket from seating properly.
