Lug Wrench (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lug wrench is the U.S. name for a type of socket wrench used to turn lug nuts on automobile wheels. In the UK it is commonly known as a wheel brace or wheel wrench. The form commonly found in car trunks is an L-shaped metal rod with a socket wrench on the bent end and a prying tip on the other. The prying tip is mainly intended to remove hub caps or wheel covers that may be covering a wheel's lug nuts. Another common type (sometimes known as a spider) is made in the shape of a cross, with different sized sockets on each of the four ends.
