Finished off my hub clean up today with the rears off, painted, waxed the wheels & copper slipped the spigots and dust guard bolts.

Hi Hopz, the blue socket is a nylon cased 17mm to crack the wheel bolts without marking the bolt wells & the red/black 17mm is just a hand spinner to remove the bolts by hand.
The wheel bolt lugs help alignment of the wheels without breaking your back wrestling with them.
None of them are essential but I find them useful Rob

I've never shaved my wheels, smooth as a very smooth thing all the time
