    I meant tires in general. Farms have lots of flats some times. This is a multi purpose tool. I can use this on a tractor when turning duals. Most farms dont have a large air compressor, and 1inch line at every shop/building site. And its more difficult to carry a large airgun in their vehicle compared to a small carry case.

    This post is not about what my boss may or may not buy. I wanted to inform peolle who may not know, about a tool that could aide them in a pinch with out literally breaking their back

    The tool is a handy one and sure beats the ones we used to use with our winch bar for a cheater. The thing is, not 1 out of a 1000 drivers anymore will air a tire up, much less change one or even tighten the lugnuts if they are falling off. I still have a couple of the ones with the 1 1/2 on one end and the 13/16 square on the other end with the hole you stick the octagon bar through to use your cheater on, I bet many would have a hard time figuring out what it was. lol

    Bud wheels and the octagon hole was for the jack bar.

    There you go, every one I have had , which has beedn several over the year the jack handle was octagon. I do not know what kind of steel that little 1/2 in rod is made out of, but it is tuff. I have jumped up and down on a 4 foot cheater with out bending one. lol

    A couple of years ago after loading my log truck I started moving and hadn't pulled up a foot and my tire caught maybe a 1/2 inch of the end of about a 4 inch branch, I watched in the mirror flip up and drive a little broken off stob of a branch through my sidewall.
    The logger and one of his helped me pull it off, and when they say that little case with the multiplier work, they claimed I was cheating. lol
    He checked it all out and decided he had to have one, they work on skidders too. lol
