Best way to loosen lugnuts on a truck without power tools

Cheater wrench torque multiplier. Just to show what I used here, I don't recommend it at this time. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
Milwaukee 3/4 drive cordless impact www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-2864...
Update on the price, I must have got in on a special when I got mine for $149 now they are $249 for the Cheater wrench. I will be testing another one in a couple days because I broke this one on a wheel on the other side of the trailer and I don't want to wait for the warranty replacement so I'm getting a different one at Northern Tool. I like this one better for a couple of reasons. Here's the link to buy it online in the States, I don't know about overseas.

That's an awesome tool Gordon, thanks for sharing! If I was still working at the craphole I'd be all over that. For _years_ we did it the manual way which meant cheaters and pipe wrenches. We eventually got the 1" air impact with the 3/4" hose and that took care of 80% of our needs, but the plant air wasn't all that great so the stubborn ones were still done the hard way. I never knew this existed. Wish I did.

[@bladerunner6354]

Common sense begins with using wrench in correct position of lock arm

[@therickening7323]

For anyone that's interested, it's a gearbox inside the tool. It turns your hand crank into huge torque. Putting your drill on it won't help as those can produce up to 2000ft/lbs just with your hand alone. Also, you'll shatter the gear box with an impact or drill. HF sells one, tried it; Gearbox locked up. Probably from the friction since it isn't designed to be turned at 1200RPM lol Also, if you need an impact on a torque multiplier, I'm pretty sure whatever you're removing is welded haha

[@JohnVH-diy]

I bought a torque multiplier years ago. Best tool ever. Works like a charm however mine didn’t come with enough grease inside. Before you use one for the first time take it apart and grease it.

[@MrTruckerf]

This video was very helpful. But I find that all of your vids are educational, especially for those of us who are more trucker than mechanic. I don't want to tie up a lot of hard earned money on specialty tools if I can do the job with common tools. But I am going to get a torque amplifier; could have used one 30 or 40 years ago.

I have one of these for my boom truck. Just discovered it about a year ago and they're great! Before that I improvised with a 10' x 1 1/2" iron pipe cheater on a huge breaker bar. The amazing thing is that even with all that leverage it was still pretty hard to break 'em loose! Absolutely an incredible amount of stubbornness stored in those damn lugs! Gotta be real careful with keeping the left and right hand threads straight though!

That looks like it would come in handy. We removed the rear rims from a tractor one time. There were 8 bolts that were 7/8" in diameter. in each rim I used a 1 5/16" socket on the 3/4" break over and had a 6' cheater on the break over. About 1/2 of the nuts took the bolt threads off with the nut. It was 31 degrees F at the time (was doing it outside). I was down to my jeans and t-shirt by the time I got done with the 16 bolts.

Nice video. I have one made more for class 6 and under that I used to carry in my Jeep. I bought it after helping a guy who had a flat tire and e couldn't get the lug nuts off. The tire shop must have torqued the nuts to just before the breaking point of the lug because I bent both his wrench and the lug itself getting one of the nuts off. I had wanted a torque multiplier for some time anyway and this gave me a good reason to buy one. These things can apply a *_lot_* of torque.

Back in the 80's I had a 66 VW beetle and was doing a brake job on it. The rear wheels were held on with a 36mm nut I believe it was and it refused to come off. My Dad and I had tried all the usual stuff like heat, a six foot cheater pipe on a breaker bar, standing on the pipe, jumping on the pipe. With the car on the ground the wheel was turning. The neighbor across the street had been watching this and came over with a air tank from a welder and an air impact wrench. He put that on there and literally in a flash it spun that nut completely off. Now THAT was a power tool.

@@57bagre that's very SMART move. Out here in west Tx if you have a blow out the tire shops will screw you over hard. Even if you carry a good spare they will screw you over.

[@fcardona84]

Bought one of these for a tow truck, (roll back), when I needed to change tires and impact gun wouldn’t do the job. The tire shop was using a 1” impact gun and there was literally just one lug nut that wouldn’t budge. I went back with the tool and cranked that nut loose. Tire guy had never seen or heard of torque multipliers. His reaction was one of disbelief.

[@kingjames8283]

This is the exact one I've used for years and it works every time. It was expensive no lie about that but it gets the job done. For those who think they'll speed the job up by putting a hammer action impact gun on this tool, don't even think it as this is not designed for that. You'll shatter the internals doing so and $250 ($189 in 2021) will go bye-bye. Sweat equity and some muscle works just fine with this tool. Once I break the nut torque, then I use my Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1" inch impact to finish the job. I've had a few nut/bolts that would not break loose with an air-powered 1" impact but this "red colored" 1:65 ratio CheaterWrench works every time.

[@Daniel-59]

Torque multipliers are pretty nice. I have one at work, a large Proto rated to 5000 ft lbs. Grainger list it for over $6k. The fasteners we use it on only torque to 927 ft lbs, so a bit oversized. The ratio requires 36 ft lbs from our torque wrench to get to 927.

[@j12851]

There is a torque chart floating around the net that shows how hard to turn the input vs. what the output is doing. I got a small (1/2" drive) digital torque gauge & was able to hit 450 ft# with ease - makes carrying a mounted spare worth the hastle.

[@stephenparker5241]

It can be used with a low range torque wrench on the end to achieve high range numbers since you know the gear ratio

[@Cragified]

Impacts will trash gear teeth and you won't get the effect since a lot of the impacts force will be wasted in the gear lash. It only takes a few turns of the hand crank.

[@andreperait]

Thats a fantastically useful tool you have there grampa.. Power tools are ok but if you are caught miles away from the nearest power source you got to be a "mcgyver"...and this tool is a life saver...

Your tool is called a torque multiplier they've been around for probably 80 years I use to have a snap on one but there not cheap. In old days 40 years ago we changed our own tires.

[@KenworthPiterbiltovich]

I have both tools like you do- Milwaukee impact and cheater wrench and it took me a while to get to the point where I combined them both using 1" to 3/4" reducer and it worked out great:) no need to crank that thing using Milwaukee wrench instead with the reducer. I went even further and tried my home cordless drill with that torque multiplier (cheater wrench) and to my surprise it did brake the lug nut loose. That torque multiplier has 58:1 gear ratio (if I'm not mistaken) so basically all you need is 10 ft-lbs torque source(10×58=580ft-lbs) and that cheater wrench to brake nuts loose:) btw the 1"to3/4" reducer should be there in your cheater wrench set

if you torque to the right spec and remove them once every season then you shouldn't have problems, it,s when people over-torque and never clean the threads you encounter problems
