As we all know, the typical auto mechanic is a laid-back jerk. This tool saves lives. The mindless "mechanic" twisted and/or twisted many of the nuts on my car's wheels so that nothing, and I mean nothing, would allow me to remove them until I tried this tool. Worked on every nut I tried on for the first time. Now my new nuts are torqued to the factory specified 83 ft-lbs; not the 500-foot-pounds that the 'mechanic' hauled them up to (and wrecked them, as well as a number of racks). I highly recommend this product.
