The extra torque provided by this tool can easily destroy sockets and even smaller wheel nuts. Never use this tool to tighten your wheel nuts (or bolts). Always use a torque wrench to ensure you don't over-tighten them.
A long lever with a 1/2" socket head on the end, for use with impact / heavy duty sockets, where a lot of pressure is required in order to tighten or loosen a nut or bolt. This tool can stand in for a wheel brace, to remove stubborn wheel nuts, but not to tighten them back up - always use a torque wrench for the correct tension.
