definitely not my first tool set. Some accuse me of living in the past, but I do try some new stuff. I am likely one of the very few who use a supercapcitor to crank my truck. I've finely broke down an purchesed one of these:
http://ezlugwrench.com/index.html At the urging of some in Australia that use them. Most of my heavy trucks sit on spoke wheels, so something like this is not needed. Which is why I held off for so long. Only one truck (well, two if you count one of my K-7's) sit on disk wheels. I have kept "getting by" with a 3/4 impact and a large air tank to get the wheels off, but the impact is getting weak and the last two time I had to run the truck to town to have a shop loosen the wheels.
Last week in 100+ temps I was running across north-central Montana, no town with so much as a country store or gas station for over 200 miles of running. With my Spoke wheel trucks, that is of little concern as I can change a tire in 20 mins. If I had a tire failure out there, even tho I carry a spare and a hand lug wrench, it is doubtful I could get the lug loose.
Got it off Ebay with a coupon for $110 so can't get too hurt.
From what I can tell this is made off-shore, so not sure how good it is, but does come with a "limited lifetime" warnentte, for whatever that means.
