WWT Group L-202E  EZ Lug Lugnut Wrench WWT Group L-202E EZ Lug Lugnut Wrench
List Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $74.98

Removing lug nuts is probably the most difficult task when changing a tire. The patented EZ Lug wrench, with its double socket design, eliminates the hassle of tightening or loosening lug nuts even those that have been tightened by a mechanic or at the factory. Simply remove the hubcap, place the socket over the bolt, and the adjustable socket over the opposing bolt for leverage, and crank.This adjustable wrench has a gear reduction ratio of 32:1. This means that for every pound of pressure you put in, the EZ-Lug puts out 32 times the pressure. So if you put in 10lbs of pressure to loosen your lug nuts, the EZ-Lug will be exerting 320lbs of pressure. The inner gears do the work and allow for easy removal of lug nuts that are just about any size nut. This EZ tool is made of cast aluminum, the EZ-Lug includes the EZ-Lug unit, hand crank and size 17mm, 19mm, 21mm sockets. At three pounds, EZ-Lug is both easy to work with and after the job is done, you can store it in its free heavy-duty, zippered carrying pouch. This lug nut wrench is Silver in color and comes in heavy duty blow mold case.

Everyone knows a standard lug wrench is a clumsy tool--and it's certainly the last thing you want to wrestle with when you're on the side of the highway in a rainstorm trying to change a flat tire before it gets dark. The patented EZ-Lug, on the other hand, makes it simple to loosen or tighten lug nuts, even those that have been tightened by a mechanic or at the factory. The user merely fits the EZ-Lug over one bolt, places the second adjustable socket over the opposing bolt for leverage, then cranks. The inner gears do the work to easily remove a lug nut of most any size. The cast-aluminum EZ-Lug includes the EZ-Lug unit, a hand crank, and size 17, 19, and 21 sockets. There's no longer any reason to pity people for having a flat tire; now we just pity them for not owning an EZ-Lug.

Here are some more information for Aluminum Lug Nuts:
Aluminum Lug Nuts

A lot of car owners appreciate the way that customized alloy or aluminum rims and wheels enhance the look of their cars. Not only are they a great source of pride, they also increase the financial value of the vehicle as well.

If you have you installed custom tires and/or rims on your car then you probably have invested a considerable amount of money so that your car looks more attractive and handles better. But have you done anything to protect your investment?

Since the majority of custom wheels don't have any unique serial numbers or identifiers, if your wheels are stolen it is highly unlikely that they will be recovered. And that's making the big assumption that law enforcement officials will take the time to track them down in the first place.

Unless you take additional precautions then you are offering an open invitation to thieves who would love to steal your prized possessions.

You know that when it comes time to rotate your tires, change your tires, have access to your brakes, or perform other types of car maintenance, you can easily take your tires off with just an ordinary lug wrench. Unfortunately, thieves can do this as well.

If you are just using the lug nuts that came with your car then it would be rather easy for someone to jack your car up and then use a simple lug wrench in order to take your rims and tires off your car and drive away with them.

You Can Protect Your Investment with Wheel Locks

If you want to prevent a thief from stealing your customized wheels and rims you just have to make a very modest investment in wheel locks. This is especially true if you live in an urban area that has a high incidence of car thefts

A wheel lock is a specialized lug nut that is designed to prevent the theft of your spare tire as well as the tires that hit the road.

Like conventional lug nuts, wheel locks bolt your wheels to your motor vehicle. Most applications require that you use only four wheel locks on your vehicle - one for each of your wheel and tire combinations. The rest of your lug nuts can be the ones that came with your vehicle.

Companies that manufacture wheel locks take pride in being able to offer hundreds of different and unique key combinations. This reduces the possibility of a thief being able to steal your accessories with a similar key.

However, since most companies sell their wheel locks with one set of keys you should consider having another set made and keeping it in a safe place.

Tips for Preparing an RV Trip

Once you purchase an RV you are left with the prospect of getting the best use possible out of your new purchase. After planning where you want to go, mapping the best route and making campground reservations through Trailer Life’s Campground Directory, Woodalls or the Rand McNally Directory the next step is to organize your supplies. Nothing is worse than being 50 miles from nowhere and either not having or being unable to find the things that make your RV experience the best it can possible be. 

 

First, prepare a list of items that you need for your trip.  The following list will provide a good guide for basic necessities:

 

  • Kitchen items:  Including pots and pans, dishes, a coffee maker, dishtowels, dish soap, bowls, silverware, cups, utensils, a can opener and plastic storage containers.
  • Clothing:  In addition to four days worth of everyday wear, consider rain gear, boots, walking shoes, swimsuits, hats and work gloves.
  • Bedroom items:  Sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, bath towels, washcloths, sheets and a mattress cover.
  • Items to help you have fun items include:  Fishing tackle, firewood, a lighter, lawn chairs, a camera, lantern, water bottles, insect repellant, bicycles, sunscreen and a tarp.
  • Other miscellaneous options include:  Trash bags, a campground directory, road maps, toilet paper, toilet chemicals, paper towels, aluminum foil, matches, plastic wrap, a BBQ grill and a lawn mat.

 

Although you need to be prepared, it is also important to travel light. The amount of cubic feet available for storage vary by your type, model, and style of RV coach, most have under-dinette, under-bed, overhead, and wardrobe storage.  There is still limited space so plan on carrying only what you need and leave a little room for clothes and other stuff that you add along your trip.  Don’t bring an excessive amount of clothing, as most campgrounds have laundry services available.  When you leave for vacation and as when leaving a campground at each leg of your journey, dump your sewer and only fill your water tank enough to last for use between campgrounds.  Water is very heavy and traveling light will help on fuel costs and make the pulling or driving of your vehicle much easier on the driver.  Be conscious not to overload your Recreational Vehicle.

 

It is very important that you make sure your RV is safe for travel before you leave. The following checklist may help prevent potential problems:

 

  • Entrance door locked and deadbolted?
  • Loose Items secured? 
  • Heavy items secured in low cabinets, light items in overhead cabinets.
  • Check Liquid Propane, make sure tank valves are closed.
  • Check water and sewer levels.
  • Make sure roof vents are closed.
  • Check lug nuts on wheels, have bearings been checked and greased lately?
  • Check brakes
  • Check Engine oil, washer fluid, coolant, generator oil.
  • Power cord stored properly?
  • TV antenna down.
  • Make sure awning is tightly secured.
  • Don’t forget your sewer hose.
  • Water hose disconnected and cap back in place.
  • Storage doors closed and locked?
  • Have someone watch while you test tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals

Another important safety tip: if you aren’t sure about how to operate a feature of your RV, get assistance. Seek out help from your local Coachman or Forest River dealers (or another appropriate expert for your RV manufacturer.)  

Finally, once you leave on your trip --  be mindful of the extra size and weight you are carrying on the road.  Think ahead, allow yourself more time and distance when approaching traffic and traffic lights.  Slow down and be safe, you are on vacation and in no hurry.  Pace yourself to the conditions at hand, speed up while approaching a hill, slow down while descending one.  Consider the cost of fuel while driving.  Instead of driving the extra miles to buy small items along the way, plan ahead and make one big trip before you go.  If possible, buy your food and fuel at one spot and whenever you stop always check your tires and lug nuts.  Do not start or stop rapidly and remember to always think ahead, you will have a much safer and enjoyable journey as a result.

Giving plastic a brushed aluminum finish?

I am restoring a car. I am keeping the stock wheels on the vehicle and have sanded them and polished them to give them the nice brushed aluminum finish. However, there is a center cap that covers the lug nuts. That part is made of plastic. Is there anything I can do to give that a brushed aluminum look as well. I have heard from a few people that the paint isn't that great (of course when they used it, it was a while ago). Any ideas? Thanks ahead of time!

There are a number of automotive paints on the market today, and some that are specific to wheels even. First you would want to clean the parts thoroughly, then spray them with a specially formulated plastic primer. This would be an adhesion promoter that allows the paint to stick much better than if you don't use it. Then simply spray the parts with an automotive silver or brushed aluminum color paint, of which there are a number of them. To finish off, if you wanted to, you can then spray them with a layer or two of clear just to protect the paint.
I hope this helps.
