ABSTRACT:
A multi-lug nut driving device which facilitates the removal or application of a wheel from or to a vehicle is disclosed. The device includes a housing with a top and bottom, a main beveled gear located centrally within the housing and extending upwardly from the top of the housing. Slots are located on the top of the housing and extend radially outwardly from the main beveled gear and at least two smaller, beveled gears are located within each of the slots, where the teeth of the first one of the smaller gears mesh with the teeth of the main beveled gear and the teeth of the second smaller gear mesh with the teeth of the first smaller gear. The second gear also has a socket adapted to receive a lug nut of a wheel. Each socket has rings of concentric sockets located therein so that a wide variety of lug nuts may be received within the socket. Each socket ring also has multiple teeth so that the lug nuts may be gripped regardless of how they are oriented.
