Here's a link to the ones I bought.
Except I got the 2 piece set instead of 3.
The socket hole did get a little scratched but that was partly because I was in a hurry. It's a fairly snug fit but you could probably sleeve it with some thin cardboard taped on.
The procedure was to set the impact wrench to reverse, but initially start threading it on by hand to get it nice and straight. Slowly start the impact wrench in reverse and let it thread itself on the nut. Once it bites apply full power to remove the nut. Once it is off you then have to separate the nut from the tool by grinding a flat into the sides of the nut and then locking it in a vice so you can use the impact wrench in forward mode to remove to separate them.
