one of the worst wheel braces on the market these coming from a mechanic. you are far better buying a decent power bar and the correct size socket if you plan on changing a flat. these spider braces will just round the nut leaving you in deeper ****.

wouldn't if the mechanic hadn't tightened the nuts up far too tight with an air impact wrench :smirk:

Why would I need one if I don't even have a spare wheel!

Wheel Brace. Takes me back to my youth. Wonderful tool in days gone by. So many better options now.

Better leverage with a breaker bar and appropriate socket.

This is of course only useful if you are lucky enough to have a spare wheel, which nowadays seems to be considered a luxury;)

Instead of questioning the professionals who do this sort of thing for a living, maybe you should be listening to them.
This is junk and is actually worse than nothing

It's not the mechanics that over tighten the wheel nuts, it's the Kwikfit 'experts'
