Lug Nut Removal Help Needed

Not trying to make this thread go sideways, but I worked at a tire store from 84-86 and remember the 80's Buick/Cadillac wire wheel cover removal tool attached to the lug wrench in the trunk( sometimes) that was very similar just smaller scale. Boy I wanted to kick that genius engineer in the nuts. Now returning to our regularly scheduled program.

LOL! I am an engineer myself and many times have cursed the "genius" that designed what I was working on! I can relate! L8r
