Fiberglass lined socket?

Im not sure where to put this thread but has anyone seen a fiberglass lined socket? I saw an ad in HOTROD magazine a few years ago for a company that made sockets lined with fiberglass that you could use on painted, chromed, or other finished fasteners and not have to worry about scratching them. I checked out the company's website a while back and they have gone out of business.
Does anyone one know if anything like this is made? I sure would like one to take my chrome lugnuts off and on with to keep them from getting all scratched up and rusty.

The Eastwood Company sells a set of sockets that are lined internally (end only) and externally (full length) with nylon. They are intended mainly for wheel lugs.
