For those times when some jerk has used an air impact wrench to overtighten the lug bolts, I have your setup (1/2 inch drive, of course), plus a 4 foot hollow steel pipe for extra leverage. Budd Premack 86 Syncro, 88 Wolfsburg Land of Sky-Blue Waters Minneapolis, MN

One of my favorites, when you really need it, is a proper lug-wrench. Mine is made up from Craftsman socket wrench parts: a 19 mm socket, a 3" extension (to permit the force to be applied parallel with the face of the tire), and a 15" "breaker-bar" (or "speed bar" as they are called in the Sears catalog). It seems to work well. |
