When I bought new tires the tire dealer damaged my covers so they were no longer good. I got new covers and was tired of installing them properly. I wanted to be able to remove the caps from the nuts. After buying several other nut pullers that were a lot cheaper and didn't work at all, I paid extra and bought this one. Works great and is worth the extra cost. From now on I will remove the lug covers myself before the tire dealer damages mine.
