Review on πŸ”§ GTE TOOLS - LugStrong 26-inch Universal Compact Lug Wrench Set, Super-Strong Tire Iron & Lug Nut Remover - Increased Torque for Unstuck Road Situations! by Eric Temple

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality. UPDATE

Good quality. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it looks like it's very well done. UPDATE: I purchased this item in March 2018 and am now updating my comments on November 3, 2018. I stopped yesterday morning to give a guy a hand on the shoulder on Interstate 5 while I was on my way to work. Turns out all he needed was a wrench. He's already lifted the car. To put it mildly, he was lucky. Firstly because I had a little more time to drive to work yesterday and secondly because I had this multi-headed wrench. I drive a large SUV and he has a small car. Obviously my regular wrench would not fit his nuts. I pulled out this still brand new socket wrench and helped him unscrew the nuts. They were so incredibly tight that we couldn't take them off with our hands. He decided to put one foot on it, which I didn't like, but we didn't have much of a choice. POP! Finally we solved a nut. I let him stand on the next four nuts to remove them. I figured the last one wasn't going and I was afraid he'd break the nut and then we'd really, or really, he'd really be in a quandary. POP! The last one broke off. We changed tires. Hand tightened the nuts with an appropriate torque and drove off. I looked at the key, it was like new. No scratches or anything like that. I forgot to mention, for a second I thought we weren't the right size because I tried all the colored frames, but the silver one on the silver bar was the right size. I think this is the smallest size on the instrument. And the last. I forgot you can create this tool to get more leverage but since I didn't use it I forgot. Maybe he wouldn't have to stand on it. Spring. I felt good helping a man at 5:30 in the morning and I was glad the wrench did its job perfectly without a single scratch. I'm buying another one for my other car.
