How the hell do you get them off??? I've never seen a 19mm socket with such a thin wall.

Have no idea how he got them on.

Jeez, I hate to ruin a good socket for a one time use...

It's called Anodized Bronze.

It's the expensive enamel "Du Rustoleeum".

Where did you get such a set of nice looking Pedrinis?

Check Sears, other tool suppliers for a thinwall 19mm...if not, a cold steel chisel and BFH will remove them.

Make the tool from a socket and then include it with the adapters when you sell them.

"adapters for sale, even includes tool to install"

if you have the original tool for taking off the tire...it will fit...

The odd looking tube with 17 on one end and 19mm on the other...

I have one if you need it...I think I have a few...
