Geared Lug Wrench - how NOT to use it & extra info

[yolner]

I was reading through old threads on this for a friend's question and realized that this article isn't quickly available, so after much hunting, now it is:

PS Mag Issue 460 "Lug Nut Loosening"

**** I've been working in a cube so long I even see outlook messages in steelsoldiers screenshots. I need professional help.

I wonder why that article says to turn the small hole part opposite of what you would do normally - All the ones I've used don't work that way, you turn it to the right to spin the lugnut to the right, and left to spin it left.

It also doesn't mention using the large bar as a reaction bar against the ground for use with the front lug nuts. (or single wheel trucks)

Absolutely so glad I found this thread! I had two lug nuts that refused to come off, this thing rocks!
