More Stupid Tool/Coatings Questions

[Jon Pennington]

In the latest issue of /Turbo/, they have a three-page article about
in-car tools an must-haves.  The tool that spurred the article, actually,
is an anti-mar impact socket set for wheels from Griot's Garage.

The sockets are cool because they have an anti-mar coating to keep you
from f!ck!ng up your rims if the socket slips while the impact wrench is
at full-tilt boogie.  Neat.  They even come in a plastic carrying case.

First of all, I can't find the damned socket set on the Griot's web site.
Secondly, considering that they want eighty frickin' dollars for a 3.5#,
wooden-handled club, I don't think I *want* to know how much these
ubersockets cost.

Got to thinking...could I buy a somewhat-normal impact socket set and get
a similar coating applied?  Whaddaya'think?  Low-friction Powdercoating?
PTFE (Teflon)?
