  • Patent number: 6662692
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a road side lug nut removal and tightening tool, which may also be used to lift a tire back onto the axle of a car, or truck. The tool comprises a frame, with a slideable plate having apertures arranged in a circular configuration. The apertures are aligned with the configuration of the lug nuts on a wheel, enabling a lug wrench to be coupled to a lug nut and corresponding aperture of the plate. A hollow extension bar may be connected to the lug wrench to apply additional leverage. By laying the frame horizontally on the ground, the hollow extension bar may be placed under lift brackets attached to the frame, enabling the frame to be used as a lever to lift a tire onto the axle of a car, or truck.

  • Publication number: 20030131696
    Abstract: A new tire changing aid to allow a person who has a flat tire to apply added leverage when removing and/or tightening the lug nuts. It also converts to a tire lift with foot leverage to help lift the spare tire back up onto the vehicle's axle. This innovative device is built of steel tubing bent 180 degrees with rubber mounts that have four adjustable and removable plates with holes to match the particular vehicle's lug bolt pattern that the lug wrench rests in. With the steel tubing inserted over the opposing end of the lug wrench it gives the user four times more leverage to remove the lug nuts.
