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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ok for the money but not the best

So first things first. For those wondering, size is 17 11/16 inches as you can see in the picture I attached. I got this a few years ago and finally managed to use it to remove and install a tire on my 2018 BMW X1. because I had a flat tire. When I first bought it I saw that everything fits and looks good. But when I actually used it, I found that I couldn't just hold it over my nose and press down on the handle with my foot to loosen or tighten the screw or bolt. The part that covers the head tilts and damages (scratches) things on the side. You can see my part of my wheel scraped off because it didn't stay straight and tilted a bit. So I had to use two hands to hold or support the bobby pin and then squeeze the handle. So if I have to do that, I think one of those crossbars will work better because I can hold two side handles to keep it balanced instead of being able to bend and twist with two hands. Instead I have to hold it with one hand and only use my other hand to spin. I don't know the exact names of the different parts, but I've tried to describe them as best as I can, so I hope what I wrote above makes sense and that you can imagine what I had to go through and what the problems were could be.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • boring packaging
