ABSTRACT:
A wheel lug nut tool apparatus and method, the tool including a plurality of wheel lug studs and/or lug sockets mounted to a base. An indicia is affixed adjacent each stud and/or lug socket to indicate the size and thread characteristics of the same. The base is fabricated so as to be easily hand held and may be configurated with a geometric design to provide a convenient handle and hanging device for the tool. The geometric design also provides a pleasing aesthetic appearance to complement an advertising logo or the like affixed to the tool. The tool retains the lug studs and/or lug sockets in a readily-accessible and identifiable configuration to enable the user to more easily determine the unknown size and thread characteristics of a lug nut and/or lug bolt. Advantageously, each lug stud and/or lug socket may be configurated to be replaceable relative to the base by having a standardized basal portion which matingly engages and is secured to a corresponding aperture in the base.
