Description of π§ AME International 67300 Nut Buddy Wheel Nut Removal Tool
Busts loose the most stubborn wheel nuts. Use on commercial or agricultural wheels. Gear ratio: 58: 1. Rated output torque: 2950 foot-pound. Two sockets included: 1-1/2 inches (38 millimeters) and 1-5/16 inches (33 millimeters).
Worked great to loosen 33mm nuts off my 2 ton Stepvan wheel! I was unable to remove the lug nuts with an inch drive impact gun. This product immediately removed them!
Works on a steer axle but doesn't fit in the limited space to work on a drive wheel, even a 24.5 wheel. You cannot release it to be able to tighten the nut. CLASS 8 HALF
Amazing find - don't know what I would do without it! In fact, I know - I've spent hours soaking rusty, frozen nuts with a PB Blaster and struggled to remove them! And swearing - yes, a lot of swearing.
I was so excited when this came out. It literally fell into my hands the first time. made of very cheap and thin steel. There's a reason good torque multipliers cost at least $600++++, sometimes too cheap is just too cheap. If they made a $300 device with decent steel, it might work.
I bought an old dump truck that I refurbished and now use a lot. I bought new tires and rims for it. I've been trying to unscrew the nuts for a week. they were all rusted and hadn't been removed in years. I heated them with a torch and my breaker had a six foot tube. They wouldn't give in. I saw this and ordered it not knowing if it works or not. It arrived today and in minutes I had unscrewed all 20 nuts. This is a wonderful tool! It's simple, solid, well built and gets the job doneβ¦
This tool needs enough force to screw you in if you are loosening more than 3 nuts (33mm). But again 1. Cheaper than refilling acetylene oxy-torches2. More portable than acetylene3. Reverse torque is 50% higher than 1" IR-D crank. Bolts on twin wheels (I've never damaged one where the nut wouldn't come back) and saw it in relentless use.
***UPDATE September 2021*** Having had to use this tool to remove all of my nuts on all four tires I can attest to the unbridled power of torque this thing has. Did his best for my needs. Anyone with old car or light truck tires should have this in their emergency kit. I have a 2001 international shuttle bus with 33mm nuts and dual tires on each side that were overtightened by the previous owner. Impact Wrench - Nuts just laughed at me. He didn't even move.
