PRODUCTSKCI EzyWrenchThere seems to be no end to the stories of people finding wheelnuts on vehicles impossible to loosen.This is especiallyso if the wheel nutshave beentightened with apneumatic garagewrench or havenot been undonefor a long time, inwhich case theymay be rusted orjust incredibly tight.You get the longpiece of pipe ontoyour wheel brace orsocket bar and jumpup and down on itand all that happensis you bend the bar orslip and hurt yourself.This procedurealone may require a lotof strength which somepeople may not haveand may strain the back, arms or wrists.Be back on the road quickly and easilywith a KCI EzyWrench.Wheel nuts should be tightened to manufacturers’ torquesettings, but this rarely happens.Most garage rattle-guns exceed these torque settings andover-tighten the wheel nuts, and they only get tighter or rustedon with time.If you are in a remote area or have to wait a long time forroad service, you could find yourself in a hazardous situation,or just waiting a long time for assistance.The KCI EzyWrench solves these problems.It produces a maximum torque of 340Nm (250ft/lbs) whichis equivalent to an average garage rattle gun, but delivers it ina true impacting action and can loosen and tighten the moststubborn, over-tightened or rusted wheel nuts in seconds withits unique operation.Using 100watts (8.3A), it simply plugs into a vehicle’scigarette lighter and it has a two year warranty.The complete kit includes four sockets, an adaptor forconnecting direct to the battery, a spare fuse, three inchextension bar and a tough lightweight plastic case.Included is a bonus four metre extension cable that doublesthe reach of the EzyWrench to eight metres.This allows users to reach caravan and trailer wheels andwith standard cigarette lighter connections at each end andan in-built fuse, it is also useful for other applications.The KCI EzyWrench has been rigorously tested by 4X4Monthly/NSW NRMA Road Service and is used in their roadservice vehicles.See more detail about this product at www.kcimports.com.auor call 02 6649 3638 for stockists.AU T O M O T I V E A F T E R M A R K E T M AG A Z I N E AU G U ST 2 0 0 8 33
