Emergency Lug Nut Remover

Impact-grade steel and a reverse-spiral design make this Performance Tool M980 set the tool you reach for when a lug nut will not budge. Whether the nut is rounded off, corroded, or you have lost the locking lug key, these two sockets bite into the fastener and grip tighter as you turn.

The set includes two sizes that cover 13/16-inch and 1-inch lug studs, which handles the majority of passenger cars and light trucks on the road. Both sockets use a standard 1/2-inch drive, so they work with your existing breaker bar or impact wrench. The steel is impact-rated, meaning it will not split or crack under the high torque loads that stripped lug removal demands.

Worth keeping in the trunk or toolbox for roadside emergencies. A flat tire situation gets a lot worse when you cannot get the wheel off, and this set solves that problem for well under twenty dollars.
