Dear JWR,
Instead of a breaker bar, which while good to have is large and hard to store, I’ve found extendable lug nut wrenches to be the ideal compromise. Easily twice as strong as the much thinner wrenches that come with the vehicle. The only caveat is that I’d recommend a long/deep wall socket that’s the precise size of your lugs to ensure you don’t damage and/or jam or lug nuts inside your socket…
I’ve tried both the Torin (sold at Wal-Mart stores) and the Grizzly
JWR Replies: Thanks for that tip. But for durability, I prefer American-made tools. Sometimes you have to pay for quality…
