Black lug Bolt Tip
Thought I'd pass this little trick along. When installing black lug bolts (or any powder coated bolts) I had a socket with plastic on the outside but no protection on the inside to prevent damage to the lug bolts. So, simply cut a 4" square out of a heavy freezer bag and placed it over the end of the socket before inserting the lug bolt, this provides protection on the inside of the socket. No scratches or dings on the black lug surface. Love these little no cost solutions to those nagging little problems. Not my origonal idea but thought I'd pass this along regardless.
