You don't technically *need* impact sockets unless you're using an impact wrench, but they will....
...work fine for use with a torque wrench.

Yes...
You can also (or instead of) do these. They are the same product Griots sells for something like $35 and they come with heavy vinyl sleeves which prevent scratching of your wheels when inserting or removing bolts (REAL useful when you are spinning an impact wrench).
I got a set and use them instead of my deep well impact sockets on wheels.
Oh, and you dont really NEED impact sockets for non-impact wrenches, but ther is nothing wrong with having them.<ul><li><a href="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40962">http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40962</a</li></ul>
