5' Tire Lug Wrench...

I built it mostly because I'm just to cheap to buy a 1" impact wrench... the wheel lugs were the only thing I counldn't get loose with a 3/4" drive socket and a regular breaker bar. I used a spare short wheel wrench I picked up at the Hershey Car Show this past summer I got for $5... 6" piece of 2" square stock and a 5' piece of 2" pipe. Drilled a 1 1/2" hole in the square stock and tapped the wrench into place and slid 4" of the pipe into the other end... Jigged it all up on the welding table to get it squared and tig welded everything together... Also works well as a BFH...;-)

That's a long way from me standing on the end of the lug wrench and jumping up and down to chang my old `88 Ford Escort's tires.

I thought suppoting it would be an issue as well, but the thing has so much "beef" to it, it just stays put while turning... hasn't slipped yet... luckily. I'm still figuring out the brackets so I can hang mount it behind the seats for traveling... oh... and paint green of course.:-D
