Great design but not heavy

Loved the flexibility the design offered. The ability to mount the lever at the end of the shaft and move it completely out of the way provides plenty of torque. Passing the lever through the center of the shaft allows you to tighten and loosen the jam nuts. Also like the center and end locking pins that hold the lever to the shaft. Unfortunately, when I removed the 4th wheel on my small pickup, the 21mm head began to separate from the shaft and actually flexed about 5 degrees off the shaft. It

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Quick start guide

Best tire changer I've ever used

I bought my first tire changer because I didn't want to keep the traditional T-bar tire changer I've always had, but I've bought two more for others cars in my family because it is so easy to use. I haven't had much luck with tires over the past few years so I've benefited a lot from them and they're a fantastic tool. I have a Ram 1500 so I had to buy a larger wrench to fit the grommets on my truck, but it packs nicely in the bag that this iron comes in. Of course, it's more expensive than a…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some flaws

Great compact product

As far as affordable easy to carry sockets go this one seems pretty good. Especially when compared to cheap metric/standard combination (SAE) wrenches available at local stores for about the same price. have normal flat sides. Instead they are round and the key only goes in the grooves. What happens with a typical combination wrench is that it just slides around the nut. However, if you put a specific head on 17mm, it's fine. In fact, this wrench fits the collet nut very tightly. Better than…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • No instructions

Misleading/inaccurate website description - poor quality

Glad it has free return shipping. Firstly the description is misleading/incorrect, there is no way this thing could be 26 inches - I actually measured. When you put it in "Power" / T-Bar mode (just like the picture) it's 14 inches from the base of the 17mm socket to the center of the handlebar. In "Power" mode, the length would be even shorter if you couldn't use the 17mm jack. Note that I'm not even sure you can put this thing into "power" mode with one of your own sockets as there is no ball…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • So far so good

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…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not the best

I've found that most repair shops and tire shops use pneumatic wrenches to tighten nuts. Normally I wouldn't know or be concerned, but recently I became the victim of a pothole on the freeway and was unable to loosen the lug nuts with the wrench that came with my 2011 Volvo S40. I'm very capable of replacing a flat tire but I felt helpless waiting for AAA to show up (over an hour). I've been told that tire shops are reluctant to torque lug nuts to published torque specs as they may loosen up a…

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Slightly dented
