I recently bought this lug wrench for my car. I was trying to swap my wheels one day and realized the shop tightened the lugs too much and I couldn't take off even one with my crappy T-Bar. I was at it or 20-30 minute one lug and it didn't even budge.

Ths Gorilla Lug Wrench was able to take off those lugs in an instant... (more like an extra minute or two).

Here's a link and some pics of my item.

Hope this helps those people with their rims stuck because of their lugs not budging.
