re: YAOTMT - help with getting a keyed lug off a tire

Those tools work better with an actual ratchet. Turn it slow to let it bite into the lug nut. Give it a hit or two with the hammer to drive it on good. Using it with an impact usually just causes it to slip on the lug nut.

Been trying that, but it doesn't bite enough.
Even got it where it was seriously biting with the pneumatic and then switched to a hand ratchet and it eventually slips off without pressure pushing in on the tool.

^ This. Also, Tap it with a hammer as you are turning. An impact is the wrong tool for this job. Don't feel bad, the tire shop I use couldn't get mine off. Once off, throw it away and replace with a regular lug.
