Unibos heavy-duty extendable wheel wrench 35.5–53 cm with 17 & 19 mm sockets
Need a bit of kit that makes wheel changes quicker and less of a faff? This Unibos extendable wheel wrench is exactly that — a sturdy, no-nonsense tool that gives you the leverage to loosen stubborn lug nuts without wrestling with the car. Perfect for stashing in the boot before a road trip, errands, or if you end up fixing a puncture in the pouring rain.
Built for the job
The bar’s made from chrome-plated alloy steel, so it stands up to regular use and won’t rust at the first sign of bad weather. It extends from 35.5 cm to 53 cm, which translates to noticeably more torque when a nut won’t budge — that extra reach can be the difference between faffing about and actually getting the job done. Comes with both 17 mm and 19 mm sockets, covering the most common lug sizes you’ll find on cars.
What it includes and why it helps
- The wrench itself (model AL161T) — compact for storage, longer when you need more leverage.
- Two sockets: 17 mm and 19 mm — easy to swap so you’ve always got the right fit.
- TÜV-approved — independently tested for safety and quality, which is reassuring when you’re working roadside.
Practical benefits? Absolutely: less back-aching tugging, fewer bruised knuckles and quicker tyre changes. No more slipping sockets or poorly fitting tools. It’s straightforward to use and easy to stow in the car.
Use cases and tips
- Roadside tyre changes — keeps the job simple when you’re pressed for time.
- Seasonal wheel swaps — great for dealing with tight or corroded nuts after winter.
- DIY maintenance — a solid, dependable addition to any home garage or toolkit.
Quick tip: if a nut still won’t move despite the extra length, try a squirt of penetrating oil and give it a few minutes — the wrench adds leverage, but it won’t magically fix seized studs. And always use the correct socket size to avoid rounding off the nut.
