121 Homesteading Skills for the Modern Day Homesteader

Since posting this I have accomplished 3 on the top 50. Some I don't think I will ever accomplish. I cannot get a lug nut off, I just don't have the arm strength. I need a type of leverage.

 

You can do it with ease, moto. Just add a piece of metal pipe to your wrench. It adds a lot of leverage, and you can break it loose with no problem. That piece of pipe is often called a cheater. (the longer the pipe, the more leverage. For lug nuts, 2-3' should be a big help)
