I have broken 2 of those 19.5 Astro lug nut sockets in a year. The thin wall likes to crack after a while.

During an inspection we notes nuts on the vehicle are swollen. Customer showed up asking why he had swollen nuts. He thought it was funny.

rust has zero to do with the issue. it's the tolerance between the cap and the lug that causes the cap to bounce around on the solid lig and get bent out of shape aka swollen

part of the cause is using the incorrect socket. if a socket that doesn't go all the over the socket (like snap on) it will swell the chrome cap and cause it to Crack

It’s not primarily salt and water that does it it’s the consistency of using and abusing them on and off with impact guns and not torquing them properly I have original lug nuts on 12 year old fords and no issues at all

They expand even more than that a lot of times they need to start making .75 sizes
