LR Wheel wrench

Broke my second one today. Whats up with this cheap quality?

Any recommendations on a better replacement that may last a while.?

Keep it, drill it out and put a nut and bolt through with washers either end. seems to be a permanent fix, have had no issues since.

I suggest Googling:-

Draper 19152 17mm & 19mm Extending Wheel Nut Wrench

Currently £12 upwards new, similar items on eBay from £6 upwards
search for:-

telescopic wheel wrench

I've had a couple of the Draper ones for many years, they simply do the job.

But bear in mind that you'll need a 22mm socket (on my wheelnuts anyway)

I always keep a snap-on half inch drive rattle gun with a spare battery in the boot, and of course a good quality knuckle bar just in case. The rattle gun will easily undo wheel nuts and combined with a proper alloy wheel socket (impact resistant covered in a plastic sleeve) means no scratched alloys. Thumbs Up
