Well, it tends to marr the surface of the rims sockets, so there is a lot wrong with it. The ideal solution is a special order socket with a rubber jacket. However, I simply use a 21mm smoothe-bore socket (one with a polished chrome outside). You can fetch them at almost any autoparts store. I got mine at Advanced Auto Parts.

got one from sears

worked fine

and it was MUCH easier to use than the stock one

the one i got was the one thats shaped like a +

it gives you much more leverage than any other wrench

I was going to suggest a Craftsmen socket. It's what i use and you can't go wrong with the lifetime warranty should it break.
