A wheel wrench is a tool often used by mechanics in the automotive industry, to manually loosen and tighten the nuts on automobile wheels.
Wheel wrenches differ from standard socket wrenches because their design gives the user more leverage when securing or loosening wheel nuts.
A wheel wrench’s design consists of a long shaft that also functions as the handle. The longer the shaft, the more leverage offered, giving the user a mechanical advantage when securing or loosening wheel nuts.The long shaft provides room to manoeuvre your hands into a position that is comfortable, allowing you to exert more force so that nuts can be secured or loosened more easily.
The wheel wrench has been loosening and tightening nuts since the 19th century!
