Ken-Tool 35656 4 Way Professional Lug Wrench Decide Now


This is a very solid, well-made tool. You can really tell the difference with drop-forging as opposed to welding. Fit seems nice on my lug nuts. The only complaint is that the size is not engraved or otherwise marked on each end - for the price I think that's not too much to ask, but if it's there I sure couldn't find it. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 - I marked the end that fits my tires myself so I can find it quickly on a dark, rainy night (isn't that usually when you get a flat?). Still, this is the lug wrench I would buy again.Get more detail about Ken-Tool 35656 4 Way Professional Lug Wrench.

Buying Accutire MS-4751WC Digital Programmable Tire Gauge with Light


This is a very sturdy and well built tire gauge, for the price. There are some better ones out there but they are built mostly for racing applications and are very much more expensive. For checking the pressures on your driver this is a really good unit and a great intersection of price vs. value (in my opinion).

I know there are complaints about quality control in other reviews as well as complaints about the case. I've had no issues with either. On the one I got everything works, there are no defects that I can find, and the case is working great.

The unit over-all is heavy and made of cast metal so it feels like it will last for quite a long time.

In the same order I also bought a Accutire MS-4350B Programmable Digital Tire Gauge. If you are trying to decide between the two, I'd say get this one. It's worth the extra money. The other model is made of plastic and is of much lower quality (though still usable).

Order Security Chain Company QG0226 Quik Grip Garden Tractor and Snow Blower Tire Traction Chain - Set of 2


Amazon's price for these chains was the lowest I could find. I used the fit guide on the manufacturers web page to figure out which chains would fit my snow blower. These chains install easily. After the last snow storm with no chains and the snow blower slipping all over the place, i knew I had to get some chains. Now waiting for the next storm to try them out.Get more detail about Security Chain Company QG0226 Quik Grip Garden Tractor and Snow Blower Tire Traction Chain - Set of 2.

Where To Buy Security Chain - Radial Chain for Passenger Cars, pair (use SC1030) (CH2311T)


I've used these on the front wheels of my front-wheel-drive car several times over the past year without any problems. I get noticeably better traction and handling on snow, ice and slush. We live on a steep hill and I haven't had to park at the bottom and walk up since buying these. Four stars because they will corrode if left wet. Practice fitting these before you need them and note how many notches it takes to tighten. Turning the wheels out full lock each way helps too when installing to make it easier to attach the inside. I wear suede gloves to keep my hands from freezing. No chain tighteners are needed and they don't scratch alloy wheels.
