Are air-wrench sockets spring loaded?

Question

when the pit crew, tire changer, removes a tire, does the air wrench use a modified socket so the lug nut doesn't stay inside?

Answer 1

Found this in an old Q&A.  The guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

"for example, the lug nuts are glued on the tires so there is no time wasted in threading, and in the socket of the gun, there is a spring-loaded release so when the lug nut is removed from the wheel, it is shot out of the socket by the spring, so you don't have to manually remove the lug nut from the socket. also, the changers keep the socket spinning the whole time, rather than starting it to do a lug, and stopping it after finishing that single lug. also, when removing a lug, they don't hold the socket on the lug the whole time, they just tap it and remove the socket, and the lug nut just spins off by itself, also making it quicker."
