Review by S. Davis "Where there are bees, there is honey" : A decent lug nut wrench which more than serves its purpose

So the Gorilla wrench telescopes to give you much more torque. It's like a traditional lug nut wrench that comes in the trunk of your car, only it has a cheater rod attached to the end of it. It really comes in handy if you get work done to your wheels or tires at a shop and they use those compressed air guns to tighten the living daylights out of your lug nuts. Then one day you're stuck on the side of the highway and can't crack those bolts off by hand. This product gives you a little extra power to avoid having to call for a tow when you have a spare in your trunk!

However, the sockets fit a little tight and I caught myself rounding off a couple of my lug nuts. You MUST make sure you get a good fit over the lug nuts as if you don't have it all the way on, you will cost yourself some money. Seat the socket over the nut and bang it in good and plenty with the wrench, then plug the wrench into the socket while it's on the wheel nut. Because you've got the extra power, it is ridiculously easy to round off a lug nut. I'd say this only doesn't deserve 5 stars because the sockets are too small and fit very tightly, AND because it doesn't come with a reasonable case. My car's lug nut wrench came in a little felt pocket that held up, this comes in one of those vinyl cases that rip apart at the seems. The velvet case that came with my car is too small for this and now it has no real case to keep the sockets and the wrench together in the trunk of my car.

In short, this product IS worth the money. But it calls for a different use than what your traditional lug wrench calls for. The one that came with your car fits your lugs perfectly! This one might take some finagling. Also, its keeping is difficult as it's case is practically non existent. Still, it increases your torquing if you had a shop tighten your lugs for you and therefore will save you a ton of misery at the side of the road.

Review by John M. Vozel : easy lug removal

Easier than a 4 way to loosen lug nuts.. Works with custom wheels that require a thin wall socket. Have one I purchased locally several years ago, extreamlly satisfied, needed one for another car with custom wheels, could not find locally.. with amazon free shipping I orderd 2. recived in a couple of days.

Review by Jon M. Euler : Perfect tire iron for limited space

I ordered this for my Wrangler. I had lost the factory set and this looked like the best option. If any of you have a Wrangler you know how limited the storage is. I've got two lockboxes in the back of the Jeep that hold tow straps, jumper cables, duct tape, etc. The size of this iron really sold me. It slides open to 21" if you need the extra leverage and collapses down to about 13" for storage. I haven't had to use it yet, but Gorilla does make solid products. I'm betting I get plenty of years of service from this. It comes with 2 sockets that adapt to 4 different lugnut sizes (great for if you need to help someone else change a tire). My only gripe is the storage bag that comes with it. It's made of the same material that $5 rain ponchos are made of. I would have preferred a cloth or even neoprene case that would isolate the detachable sockets. It's a minor issue for an otherwise great product for the price.
