Cant this be used to remove an overtightened lug nut?

No. It's meant for screws. Get a 4 foot length of 1" pipe from your local hardware store and slip it over your lug tool to give you extra leverage. That will remove the lug nut.

You could try it, but my thoughts are it being only 3/8 drive, it may be too light duty to do what you need. Lug nuts are typically tightened to 80-100 ft. lbs., and at that rate should be able to be removed by hand. If your lug nuts are overtightened, you may need the help of a tire shop with industrial air tools to break them free.

No. It is not the intended purpose and I don't think it can be used for that. If it is just overtightened, you just need a wrench with a longer handle for more torque.

This is meant to remove lock down screws on various things like Brake rotors, door latches and ect.

You need the appropriate tool to remove this or to remove one if there is already one on the wheel you are looking to put this on.It will self-tighten once placed on the wheel.

I think it has more than enough power, most lug nuts require 100# + or - torque to tighten the lugs, this thing has 300#. I use mine to remove the lugs and they spin right off, even after they were put on at a tire store. I use a torque wrench to tighten them up for the proper torque. I really like mine, the trigger works well but the sockets are hard to remove. I don't think you would regret purchasing this wrench, lots of power and easy to maneuver, no air hose to drag around and can be carried anywhere.

It does not work on deep well lug locks. I learned that the hard way. I did however hammer it onto the top piece of the deep locks and turned until the top sheared from the bottom. Once the top half was broken off I had to hammer and chisel the rest until it would fit atop the lock. I think this is a good kit for nuts, bolts, and regular lugnuts but definitely not for long locking lug nuts that have hollow centers, which mine do. Hope this helps.

This can remove properly tightened lug nuts, but it is at its limit doing this and can't compete with air tools. The unfortunate part is many tire shops use an air gun to put wheels back on a car and over-tighten the nuts as the small amount of damage that does to the parts (that is very difficult to discern) is nothing compared to the liability if the nuts come off and the car looses control. An X shaped lug nut tool can be purchased for cheap and used to break loose really tight nuts, and the folding kind are great to keep in the trunk next to the spare tire/jack in case you get a flat as they are easier than the factory tool.

I would not suggest trying to use the splined lug socket to remove the damaged lug you have. Would suggest getting a damaged nut removal socket of appropriate size from sears/home depot/ Lowes and then replace lug with a new one once you get it off.

This is not designed to do that. It is a great tool for numerous jobs but not for handling the torque on a car lug nut.

Yes, I would think so. These Lug Nuts are designed for trailers, which often distributes more weight across one axle and is subjected to same road stresses, so I cam't see why it wouldn't.

I have had mixed results with mine. Some times it will remove the lugnuts and some times I need to break them free and then I'll move over to the impact wrench to spin them off. If you are expecting it to remove them every time I would not bet on it. (I don't use to it to put on lugnuts, I tighten to spec with a torque wrench.)

Don't expect to take off your tire's lug nuts with it, but DO expect it to work great for hard to reach screws or if you are like me, an installer then its great for self tap screws and light drilling and junk.

A better solution is a breaker bar. This can be used to tighten lugs, but it's much easier with the breaker bar. I had to stand on the bar for it to loosen lugs.

just use the supplied wrench an tighten it very snug, don't kill it. The supplied wrench is relatively short to prevent you from over tightening. There is no torque spec as far as I know.

Yes, I believe if you overtighten it, you'll crack the nut, and it will leak.

Mine has a tough time removing rusted lug nuts from a truck but it may be my impact wrench more than the compressor itself. It should be strong enough with the right impact wrench.

No you cannot. This is a 1/4 in. drive set. Only for small jobs like putting a cabinet together or light work with small bolts. There is not a socket in the kit big enough for a lug nut.

These are designed to remove the mechanism different manufacturers use to prevent wheel and hubcap theft. It will remove the keyed lug nuts and hub cap screws of quite a few designs but without knowing who made the wheel or the vehicle and what your locking mechanism specifically is I couldn't comment on its ability to remove your specific wheel.

I am not sure. I'd have to do some research. But it's used to take off the Crack pulley bolt. It's useful, but that bolt is still a pain to take off even with this.
