Title: Wheel wrench/ tyre iron thing.......
Post by: vRS_Pagey on November 30, 2012, 08:14:46 pm

A wheel wrench with a nylon end so as not to damage the wheels.  Anyone tell me what it's called and where I can get one?  :ashamed:

I've got one of those sockets & a couple of extending bars from Lidl :ashamed:

I don't carry the socket in the car, I've wrapped the one that came with the extending bar, with insulation tape :wink:, if I have to use it to change a puncture/wheel then it's a good option
