i don't use those nylon covered sockets.....it's the same as tape ..
and I have done the electrical tape thing but that's not going to help if the socket is so close to the clearance hole that it's close to metal on metal.
I find the impact in use helps when it's applicable to a lug bolt sitting DEEP inside a wheel hole that has very minimal clearance. It really depends on the design of the wheel.
I even have a custom set of full fiberglass core sockets but when the clearances are so thin....I would rather minimize the deflection of the socket via hand torquing then using the lug wrench where it's deflects less . Hard to explain until you've worked on a wheel where the bolt is sitting deep in the hole.
Impact wrench like any tool is only is good as the operator using that.
