Wheel Mounting
Choose a lug wrench or cross wrench that fits the wheel nuts of your vehicle. The socket size must match the nuts. Check the drive, typically 1/2 inch, and the handle length for sufficient leverage. A cross wrench with a non-slip grip works comfortably. Ensure the tool suits your car.

Choose the Right Wheel Mounting Tool
What size and drive do you need?
Wheel nuts have a socket size, for example 17 or 19 mm. Your cross wrench or lug wrench must match that size. Also check the drive, such as 1/2 inch. If the socket does not fit, you will not loosen the nut properly.
What to check when ordering?
Measure the socket size of your wheel nuts before you order. A cross wrench with four sockets (17, 19, 21 and 12.5 mm) covers many cars. A lug wrench with a fixed size is lighter and takes less space. Choose a lever long enough for leverage, but not too long for your boot.
Why a non-slip handle?
A smooth handle slips when you apply force. That wastes time and can be dangerous. A non-slip handle or hinge gives grip, even with greasy hands. This way you change a wheel safely and quickly.
