Review on πŸ”§ EPAuto Telescoping Lug Wrench with CR-V Sockets: Convenient Wheel Changing Tool (17/19, 21/22mm) by Edwin Cen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceptionally strong and durable at a great price!

This worked great to loosen the lug nuts on my Xterra, but the strength and durability of the heads far exceeded my expectations. I used sockets (with a short 3" extension) to loosen some extremely cold 15 year old rusty bolts on my shocks. I've previously broken two socket wrenches and cut at least one other socket on frozen bolts, despite soaking them in penetrating oil a few days earlier. I then tried these heads because I thought they were cheap and I really had nothing to lose. Amazingly, they held up to the torque and exertion as I stood and easily jumped/jumped onto an 18" breakbar with a 36" drawbar/pulltube at the end of the breakbar. It was a lot of torque and I seriously thought these bushings would snap and shear before the bolts would loosen, but they held up to abuse. They are exceptionally strong and at an amazing price that far exceeded my expectations! The sockets eventually loosened the bolts/nuts and showed no sign of damage or wear, I was really impressed. The retractable wrench itself is also very durable. I actually tried bending it 90 degrees to improve leverage by hitting it a few times with a sledgehammer. But no matter how hard I hit it, the bar just wouldn't bend, I couldn't believe it. The thing just wouldn't bend, so I ended up just using jacks with a short extension on the jumper. These sockets and wrenches have withstood an incredible amount of abuse that they certainly weren't designed to take, and still achieved incredible results! They should easily withstand removing lug nuts, no matter how tight.
