"A Quality Product"

I received my new lug wrench today and I am very impressed with its high quality. After trying to change a tire with the factory supplied lug wrench I knew I needed something better. And, believe me this is something better. I immediately took it out and rotated my tires. It made the job much easier and I am completely satisfied by the quality,the design and the price. This wrench is worth what I paid for it! 5 stars

"Gorilla is right!"

If you have ever struggled with an over-tightened lug nut on a wheel, this is the tool for you! Let those tire monkeys bring on their impact sockets, with the Gorilla Wrench, you can break the nuts easily. I liked it so much, I bought another one to put in my wife's CRV. Simple, solidly built, and very effective. 5 stars

"It did a job my car's original wrench & a power wrench weren't able to do"

Last Spring, when I replaced my winter tires with my regular ones, I over-tightened them, using the wrench that came with the car (~12" long). A month ago, when I tried to install the winter tires again, I found that some lugs would not come off. I tried standing on the wrench, or even bouncing a little bit, for extra torque (this method had never failed me before), but the only thing I got is a bent wrench. I tried putting some lubricant around the lug, but it didn't go inside. I tried using a power wrench, thinking that the impacts would loosen any rust that might be responsible for the problem. No way.
I considered several options for a new wrench (I had to buy a new one for my car, anyway), and the Gorilla 1721 offered both a long handle (21", extended) for extra torque and a small size (since the handle is telescopic) to be able to place it inside the spare tire in the trunk. I wasn't very sure the wrench wouldn't bend, as the other did, with the extra torque.
However, when I tried it on the stuck lugs, despite the fact that I had to stand on the handle for more torque (about 335 lbs. per foot), the Gorilla wrench didn't bend, and the lugs finally came off.
So, I'm very, very pleased with this wrench, which saved me a lot of $$$, avoiding me a trip to the garage.

PS: This time I made sure I didn't tighten the lugs too much :-) 5 stars

"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.

"The best"

This is the best power wrench, it extends and provide the extra leverage needed for removing even the tightest lug nuts - yes it works excellent and it's very durable, very good quality. I recommend it. 5 stars
