Jeff: Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at this half-inch drive break down lug wrench with the SAE and the metric sockets. Now this is a nice full size half inch drive lug wrench that'll break down into two parts for compact storage. First part is this free spinning handle with the push button release, and the second part is this dual position center rod. This rod has three different indentations in it.

So basically what you can do is push down on this push release as you push the rod in, and that'll let you go by the first indentation. And then when you get to the center, it'll lock into place and then you have a free spinning lug wrench. Simple as that.Now it also includes these four double sided sockets in both SAE and metric sizes. So you have a 11/16ths and a three quarter inch on this one have a 13/16ths and 15/16ths of an inch on that one. On this one, you have a 17 and a 19 millimeter.

And on this one, a 21 and a 23 millimeter, and they are marked on the front here. Now there's two positions. Center rod allows for quick loosening and applying added torque to tighten lug nuts. Basically with it in the center position like it is now, it'll give you a quick loosening and tightening of the lug nuts. So you just choose whatever size you need and insert it in there till it clicks in, and then you can use it to rotate.And then what's nice about it, you can slide this rod to one side, either side for breaking loose or final tightening.

If you push this button release down here again and slide it to this end, then you can see now you have a nice breaker bar type feature that'll help you break loose our tighten it. And again, you can go to either side, whichever works for you. This is a heavy duty heat treated steel, has a nice rust resistant chrome plated finish on it. And what's nice, it does include this nice nylon storage pouch that will keep everything together so you don't lose anything. But again, these are double-sided, so if you just pull it out, put it on the other side, it'll give you the other one.And same way on this one.

If you use the SAE size, use that size, pull it out, flip it over and use the other size. And again, you can remove the whole piece. And what's nice on this storage bag, it has two different compartments. It has a thinner one for that center rod and then a little bit larger one. What you can do is take your sockets. Go ahead and put your sockets in there. And then once you to get your sockets all the way in there you can add your handle there. Once they all get in there, you got a draw string, pull it close, and you got everything all together in this nice nylon storage pouch. But that should do it for the review on the half inch drive breakdown lug wrench with the SAE and metric sockets.
