Looking for a lug wrench...

Thankfully, I haven't had a flat yet, but I'm wanting to find a four way lug wrench for my 08 F350. Does anyone know if the lug nuts are metric, by the way? Stopped by a parts house yesterday, and tried a couple of the Ken Tool 4 way's, but they were standard size, and felt loose.
Thanks.

Most of these new ones are, my 2001 was, I havent had to worry about the '08 yet. Can't swear to it but they probably are metric.

DeereTech05 is correct. They are metric and have been for a number of years.

Funny, I just went out and checked them, and my Craftsman deep well 13/16 impact socket fits the lugs perfectly...I took a caliper and it looked like they measured 21mm. Too long since math class; am I missing something?
Thanks!

well 13/16 is .8125 and 21 mm is .8268 more then likely the socket is oversize buy .02 witch would be normal so yes it would fit a 21mm just fine

21mm is correct, I use a 1/2 breaker bar with a short extension and a 21mm socket for a lug wrench. I couldn't believe my father-in-laws little Toyota Tacoma takes the same thing!
