ABSTRACT:
A lug wrench having a nut-receiving socket on a shank, and a crossbar joined to the shank to extend transversely, e.g. perpendicularly, thereto. The lug wrench may include a wedge or a second socket joined to the shank. First and second handle members are joined to the first and second ends, respectively, of the crossbar to extend transversely, e.g. perpendicularly, thereto. The handle members may extend substantially parallel to an axis of the shank. The crossbar may be joined to a middle portion of each of the handle members, or the crossbar may be joined to an end of the handle members such that the handle members may extend from the crossbar in a direction away from the socket. The lug wrench is preferably symmetrical about a plane that intersects the shank and is perpendicular to the crossbar to facilitate balanced application of force to a lug nut.
