Lug Wrench

Silly Rabbit · 05-09-2016, 11:53 AM

I'm looking for a lug wrench with multiple sizes. Since I have aftermarket wheels, the stock wrench doesn't fit. If I have a flat I will need one size to remove my aftermarket wheel and another size to install the stock spare. I already keep 5 stock lug nuts in the car, but only have the stock wrench. Several companies make a version of this extendable wrench with flip sockets. So you get 4 size sockets out of two sockets and a wrench that stores away easily. Any use one of these?

If the lug nuts were torqued properly, then that looks like a great tool - but I've never used one. If the lug nuts were over-torqued, as many shops will do, then you're going to need a lot more leverage.

The tool is extendable to give you extra leverage.

Ah. That'll help. I might just get one if I see one in the store.

Yeah, I don't have a reason for anyone to remove my wheels except for me and I use a torque wrench when I tighten the lug nuts. I just need to be able to cover myself out on the road. This is the one I'm planning to get. $15 on Amazon.
