So who here has changed a tire with the silly A$$ lug wrench provided.
Talk about cardio.
Go ahead and try to break one of those lug nuts loose next time you wash your car.
Call someone.
I've used the supplied lug wrench with the last three cars I have owned. But then I weigh over 200 lbs and have always been in a location where I could use that weight on the wrench to break free the nut.
The bigger problem lately is that car makers have moved almost exclusively to hub centered wheels. Getting the wheel off when it is frozen to the hub can be a problem. Last time I changed the tires two of the four came of easily enough, the third took using a hammer, and the fourth needed penetrating oil on where the wheel connected to the hub.
