Re: 1959 Chevrolet Apache pick up

another way fora 12 year old to get tough lug nuts off with a short wheel wrench would be for her to use a "snipe" on the handle of the lug nut wrench to gain leverage. a snipe is usually a short length of pipe that can be slid over the handle of the other tool, whether it is a lug nut wrench or some other ranch tool, to effectively make the handle of the tool longer so the user can get more mechanical advantage. another tool any rancher would likely have in his truck. like a length of rope, some fencing pliers, a few extra shot gun shells or some spare barbed wire on a roll.
