Lug nuts (and how to bust your own)

[joshuaz223]

i have this ratchet head with a 44" handle from my days working on heavy equipment. i have put over 10 ft of pipe on this thing and in 20 +years never hurt it. now for the down side. i have more money in it and the sockets than in my deuce.

The name on the head of that ratchet is the reason for the cost . Awesome quality though and if your going to use it everyday, its worth it.

Also, remember that lug nuts are reverse threaded on the "drivers side" of the truck or trailer.... EVEN someone who has a deuce for a LONG time may not know this ( I didn't)....Experience is a BIT<H....(or a long and costly recovery)

I use the breaker bar that came with my truck and just put it on the lug nut and jump on it and that breaks it loose every time. I install them again the same way

The quality tools are never cheap.
