Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Everyone knows a standard lug wrench is a clumsy tool--and it's certainly the last thing you want to wrestle with when you're on the side of the highway in a rainstorm trying to change a flat tire before it gets dark. The patented EZ-Lug, on the other hand, makes it simple to loosen or tighten lug nuts, even those that have been tightened by a mechanic or at the factory. The user merely fits the EZ-Lug over one bolt, places the second adjustable socket over the opposing bolt for leverage, then cranks. The inner gears do the work to easily remove a lug nut of most any size. The cast-aluminum EZ-Lug includes the EZ-Lug unit, a hand crank, and size 17, 19, and 21 sockets. There's no longer any reason to pity people for having a flat tire; now we just pity them for not owning an EZ-Lug.

Product Description

Getting a flat and being unable to break the lug bolts loose is never a worry with the EZ-Lug lug nut removal -ool.

I bought this lugnut wrench earlier this year in order to be prepared for my next flat tire, since lug nuts are now tightened by mechanics using air-compressor-driven wrenches, and I find it impossible to loosen them with a standard lug wrench. The first time I had a flat tire and needed to use this wrench--at night in a cold, relentless rain--the wrench's round, disk-like gearbox snapped in half.

I bought the EZ-lugnut to install my winter tires. I read the instructions and I proceed to remove the nut lugs, the first lug was removed fine, when I tried to remove the second one, the wrench snapped in half.

My next door neighbor is elderly and no longer drives. He gave me his EZ Lug Lugnut Wrench, still in its case and unused. I decided to rotate my tires myself and looked forward to not having to break the lug nuts loose by stomping on an arm of my regular X wrench.

The first two nuts broke free OK but on the third the device snapped in half. It was way past any warranty and the sales slip was long gone anyway, so there was no taking it back. As a gift it didn't cost me anything, so no big deal. I was impressed by the concept, however. If only the company had hired a professional engineer to calculate the stresses and design sufficient strength into it. I'm thankful I didn't invest the current going rate of $55 into this device.

I'm sold on the concept and found a heavier but much stronger (not aluminum) and smaller Pittsburg brand lug nut force multiplier for only $25 from Harbor Freight. It comes with an assortment of nut sockets, all in a small, black, zippered leatherette carrying case only 3" X 4" X 8" that fits easily into the dashboard glove box of my Toyota. It has a detachable crank and works like a champ.

Hope someone can benefit from my experience with the fragile and overpriced EZ.
