Abstract
A lug nut removal tool has an upright support leg on a base, a clamp which can be adjusted up and down on the leg, a pivot bracket on the clamp, and a lug wrench mounted for axial sliding and rotation on the pivot bracket. The stand formed by the support leg and base holds the lug wrench at the proper elevation to be applied to lug nuts on a wheel, and and elongated handle on the wrench allows the wrench to be easily turned while applied to the lug nuts. The leg, wrench bar and handle can be pivoted to positions parallel to one another to provide for compact storage of the tool when it is idle.
