I have a full set of air tools, and have never used an impact wrench on my wheels. And if at all, I'd only use them to break the lug nuts/bolts loose. I don't have a rubber cover for my sockets either, but never needed it. If you're careful, and use a proper extension, no need to, but sounds like good insurance. Much better to know your wheels are properly torqued by hand. And don't forget you're supposed to incrementally torque them. Good day.
