Review on πŸ”§ Efficient 14-Inch Amazon Basics Universal Folding Lug Wrench for Easy Tire Changes by Adam French

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Two uses and a break: tire repair tools

At first glance this thing seemed pretty high quality and easy to use. I used it the first weekend after receiving the product and it worked as expected. Find the right size, line up the tool, make sure the locking mechanisms are in place, and twist on both ends. The first time I used it, I pulled off 2 tires and put them back on without any problems. A month later (second use) I removed a nail from a tire and decided to use the wrench again. The first 2 nuts came loose without much effort. When removing the third nut, I suddenly felt the knot spin freely. When I pulled the key out, part of it was still attached to the wheel. I have what you see in the picture. I was confused at first until I noticed a turning kink with a wrench. And to be clear, this is a twist break. Even though the locking mechanism was in place, the metal twisted to the point where it twisted and then separated. At first I thought I was trying too hard to turn the wrench, but when I used a car key I barely bothered to remove the nut. call me disappointed money down the drain. RevainBasics makes good budget products, but this one doesn't seem to be one of them.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
