Hmmm. First you had an issue with OVM humping a sidewalk,

Well that brought back an odd image I forgot about. On my my trip home, I was traveling on some back road in Kentucky. Came around a bend, and there was some guy humping a tree o_O

After seeing the picture of the breaker bar, I think I have one in the shed, it was my fathers, I never knew what it was for. Now I just need the jack :rolleyes:

I think the other driver is a she.
Yes, I am a She, an Artist, Motorcyclist, Driver (Class A CDL, now Drive a Sprinter) and believe it or not...some tools DO have a Name! (Smile)
I too, have a Craftsman Breaker Bar along with a LOT of other Tools!

Yesterday I was nearing completion of a nice 1300 mile load to Aurora Co.when only 3 miles from my delivery pffft a flat tire, the first in all my years of expediting. I get out the handy Mercedes supplied tire kit and proceed to attempt a tire change. Needless to say using the stubby little lug wrench provided I was unable to break the lugs loose.

A quick call to load1 gets me hooked up with the great team in our shop who call our tire people. They contact their national network and arrange for a truck to come to the rescue. well to make a long story short 2 1/2 hours after pulling off the road I am 195.00 bucks down using my spare but headed to my delivery. Why, because my breaker bar is in my garage. Vanners if you don't have one along with the correct size socket., or at least a pipe to extend your lug wrench do yourself a favor and outfit your van with one now, a small investment today can save you time and money tomorrow.


I had a blowout 8 miles from delivering. Broke the lug wrench head off. As soon as I got new tires, stopped at auto zone for a 4 way lug wrench. Then went down the street at Sears and got an 18" breaker bar with socket. The 4 way is already bent.
