Makes changing tires very easy. You can get lots of leverage on the lug nuts with this.

This minimizes time it takes to change a flat on the side of road, which leaves you exposed to traffic.For the same reason, you should carry a floor-jack (or at least a bottle jack) and a wheel chock.Adjustable-length handle gives you a wider torque range. It is compact when stowed.- Removing flat tire: With crossbar almost fully extended you can loosen most lug nuts. Tire shops typically over-tightened with impact wrenches. Careful not to round off the nut.- Installing spare: Shorten the crossbar in a bit for this.Note: Nothing keeps the long handle (crossbar) from sliding out of the short handle. Leave at least an inch or two sticking out the hole when using.Note: Inflate and check air pressure in your spare annually and before any long trip. Else you will just replace one flat with another.Suggestion: A locking clip or cotter pin should be included to keep crossbar from slipping out. This is a cheap safety enhancement.

Bought it to keep in the truck if my utility trailer needed a tire change on the road. Compact and well made. Great tool to have in an emergency.

I really wanted to like this but had to return it. It seems to be good quality and is compact. However, when you place the bar into the socket, some of the bar protrudes into the socket so it doesn't seat all the way to the back of the lug nut, at least for my vehicle. Your mileage may differ. It would most likely still work but I did not want to risk it slipping off or stripping the lugs. You could also buy some extra sockets but why?

Very compact. Easy to store. Makes changing tires a breeze. Should have about this long ago. Built very good. Value is great. Can't go wrong

I got this after getting a flat tire and needing to call AAA because I couldn't loosen the lug nuts with the small lug wrench that comes with the car. This wrench has a long handle that can be shortened or lengthened to get the amount of leverage you need. I was a little surprised that the handle is not fixed. It slides freely on the X-shaped part of the tool. That's not really a problem though, and it makes it easy to slide off the handle so you can spin off the lug nut with the X-shaped part of the tool. I tested it on my car and found that it has plenty of leverage to loosen the nuts, which had been torqued down very tightly at the repair shop. I like the way it easily assembles and disassembles and can be stored very compactly in the bag that comes with it. My car doesn't have a trunk so that's important for me. Now that I have this tool I can change my own tires without having to call a tow truck for help.

Bought this as a second tool for my daughters car. The one that came with the car is too small that you can’t get a decent grip on it to use. Hoping this tool helps. It’s sturdy but as I said …hard to figure how to put together to use. I did like the sockets it came with, I only wish they would have included instructions on the best way to use or piece together..with a pic . That would help a lot. If they did have simple instructions with the tool…I probably would order one for myself.

It arrives missing a washer that allows the handle to travel along the shaft. Without the washer the handle was very loose and not safe. I suspect that even without the washer the tool still is flimsy.
