lug wrench

There are a couple of different tools that are good for tightening lug nuts. A torque wrench and a lug wrench are good for tightening lug nuts. Typically lug nuts would be tightened with a torque wrench, but a lug wrench is much cheaper.

The best lug wrench is the cross shaped type with 4 different sockets. This is the only hand wrench that will apply enough torque on your lug bolts.

Purchase a 4-way lug wrench from your local auto parts store.

Lug nuts you will want to tighten by hand with a lug wrench, so you can get them off with a lug wrench on the side of the road.
