GTE TOOLS - LugStrong 26" Universal Compact Lug Wrench Set, Super-Strong Tire Iron & Lug Nut Remover - 2x more torque! Never Get Stuck on the road again!

I have a Ford vehicle so the included lug nut wrench is... a wrench. You can use it in a pinch if you have to, but it is a cheap tool and I would not rely on it. This stores into a very nice compact little case that still fits anywhere in the back of your car, but can be used in a couple different configurations on different sized lug nuts. A much better tool to rely on if you need to swap to your spare tire for whatever reason. I don't really have much else to say - it's a solid kit, intuitive and easy to use, with a quality little case that stores everything up very neatly.

I found that most repair and tire shops over-tighten lug nuts with their air impact wrenches. Normally I wouldn't know or care, but I was recently victim to a pothole on the highway, and unable to loosen the lug nuts with the wrench supplied with my 2011 Volvo S40. I am very capable of changing a flat tire, but felt helpless waiting for AAA to show up (well over an hour). I've been told tire shops are reluctant to tighten lug nuts to published torque specs as they may have a tendency to loosen slightly once you drive on them the next few days, and would need to be re tightened (or at least checked) - some say this is even more likely with aluminum wheels (I honestly don't know for sure). When the young man from the nearby AAA garage showed up, his cordless impact wrench was unable to loosen a single nut. With the help of a cheater pipe, he used his traditional 4-way lug wrench to loosen the nuts. I didn't want to experience that helpless feeling again, so I did "The Google" search thing, and looked into getting a 4-way lug wrench and cheater pipe of my own. That's when I found the LugStrong wrench. This is by far the best designed lug wrench I've ever used. Quality made and an impressive design. As soon as the LugStrong arrived, I tested it on several lug nuts on my Volvo, and although a few were extremely tight, I was able to confidently loosen them. The bar is cleverly designed to hold the sliding cross-bar in place whether at the extreme end for added mechanical advantage (in place of the cheater pipe), or in the center position in order to spin the wrench. It's optimal use is for 19mm (3/4") and 21mm lug nuts. It also includes a 17mm socket and 1/2" bit for standard sockets to accomodate *any* size lug nuts, but these two options do not offer the same degree of leverage you may need for stubbornly tight lug nuts - so be aware of that. Bonus: one bar slides into the other for extremely compact storage, and comes with a sturdy storage sleeve.

I had to use this wrench on the side of the road yesterday and it performed great. Much better than the trash that the OEM gives you with the car! Just make sure it has the sizes to fit your car/truck/trailer!

I keep this under my truck’s back seat and you should too. I tow my trailer fairly frequently and didn’t want to have to mess with getting my truck’s factory jack out if I had a flat. This doesn’t take up much room and is well designed. I have used this several times since I bought it and it is excellent. Great quality and I like how it comes apart and stores in the nice bag that is included.

Small and sturdy, I’ve used them to replace a 35” off road tire and it worked. Would be nice if they included an additional metal rod that can be added to lengthen the device. I had to use all my body weight to loosen some lugs due to the short length.

Nice quality. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it looks like it's very well made. UPDATE: I purchased this item on March 2018 and now I am updating my comments on November 3rd 2018 I pulled over yesterday morning to help a guy on the shoulder on Interstate 5 as I was heading to work. It turned out all he needed was a lug wrench. He already had the car jacked up. He was lucky to say the least. One because I had a little extra time heading to work yesterday and two because I had this multi socket size wrench. I drive a big SUV and he had a small passenger car. Obviously my OEM lug wrench would not have fit his lug nuts. I pulled out this lug wrench, still brand spanking new and helped him remove the nuts. They were so unbelievably tight that we couldn't take them off using our arms. He decided to stand on it with one leg, which I didn't appreciate, but we didn't really have a choice. POP! We finally loosened one nut. I let him stand on the next four nuts to take them off. The last one I thought would not come off and I was afraid he was going to strip the nut, and then we would really, or actually he would really be in a jam. POP! The last one came loose. We swapped out the tire. Tightened the nuts to a reasonable torque by hand and off he went. I looked at the wrench it appeared to be as good as new. No scratches or anything. I forgot to mention, for a second I thought we didn't have the right size because I tried all the colored sockets, but the silver one on the silver bar was the right size. I think it is the smallest size on the tool. And one last thing. I forgot that you can assemble this tool to get more leverage, but since I hadn't used it I had forgotten about that. Maybe he wouldn't have had to stand on it. Oh well. I felt good helping the guy out at 5:30am and I was happy the wrench did its job perfectly and without a scratch. I'm buying another one for my other car.

I was a bit skeptical when I ordered them, but they really are a great tool. Much smaller than carrying a four way lug wrench, but are strong enough to get the job done over and over. It tucks away very nicely, and I am totally happy with mine. They are quality from what I can see so far, and I would probably buy again if I need another.

The GTE tire iron is well designed and built as advertised with lifetime warranty. I bought this as an emergency tool for my 2015 BMW 328i Xdrive tires. ('Cause BMW believes owners/drivers don't need their own tools and can afford to pay every service stealerships have to offer.) This is designed for the following lug size: 17mm, 3/4", 19mm, 21mm and comes with a 1/2 " adapter.

Well made , eat to use . Comes with storage bag . Fast delivery

It is as described, nice and compact in a well made sleeve. Seems to be well made overall. I have tested it on a particularly tight set of lug nuts on my Hilux, after exerting some effort I loosened them all ok, so I guess it won't break when I need to use it in anger.

Does what it's supposed to. Compact storage. Three common sizes. Strong. Highly recommend.

First point: I haven't had to use it yet. Just made sure it fits my 19 mm lug nuts. Build is substantial. Looks like it can take stress. Good leverage is possible. At first I wasn't sure how to assemble it. The silver part is enclosed within the red tube. Easy to fit with spare tire. Pleased with the purchase.
