Kind of neat. Leverage is king. I keep a Harbor Freight 2' breaker bar and the socket I need for my car in the trunk. I cut the foam on top of the spare to fit the bar so it doesn't rattle around.

For me, this type of tool is an odd combination of overly specific (basically targeted for lug nuts) and overly generic (for cars with different size lugs).

I'd prefer to get a:
1) Breaker bar for $18: https://www.harborfreight.com/12-...60819.html
2) Individual socket for your car (pick appropriate size) for $4: https://www.harborfreight.com/12-...67788.html

If you want to upgrade to work on multiple cars, buy the whole set of sockets:

If you want to use these for regular maintenance outside of emergencies, then get a torque adapter:

And if you want to speed up the process, get an electric impact wrench. This approach starts out cheaper, and each addition builds on your setup in a way the product in the OP does not.

Came here to say this. Hell, I use that same breaker bar when my mid torque Milwaukee refuses to take off lug nuts. Use it professionally every day. "Give me a place to stand, a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."

Project Farm did a video on the digital torque adapters and found a few good ones for $30-$40

Dead but also I'm in the breaker bar and sockets crew, I used a pool noodle to keep things from rattling.
