New Half Inch Socket Adapter

We pride ourselves on innovation at Cheater Wrench, and we are pleased to announce the latest in our goal to continuously innovate. We have created a new socket adapter that is a 1" female to 1/2" male socket adapter. Why you ask? Because with it, you can use the Cheater Wrench with 1/2" drive sockets, allowing you to use your Cheater Wrench on smaller vehicles. You can see it in action here:
We have also created a 1/2" female to 1" male socket adapter which allows you to use a power drill to quickly run off your lug nuts once loosened. We will post pictures and videos soon. In the meantime, you can read more about these innovations on our sockets and adapters page as well as see them in the new slideshow at CheaterWrench.com!

Introducing The Cheater Wrench™

Cheater Wrench has the torque multiplying power to loosen any lug nut. With a 78:1 torque output ratio, you can generate upwards of 5,000 foot pounds of torque...more than enough to remove any lug nut from your truck or RV. To see a quick demo, find us on YouTube or watch the video below!



To order the Cheater Wrench, visit our website. Want to tell your friends about us? Keep up with us on Facebook or Twitter.

So how does it work? Inside the Cheater Wrench are planetary gears that amplify your torque as you rotate the handle. Simple attach the handle onto the input shaft and turn in the direction the lug nut needs to spin. The Cheater Wrench comes with 4 sockets and a 1" extension piece for deeper wheel wells. All sockets have a 1" drive.

But how do you tighten the lug nut back on after you change the tire? Since lug nuts can only go on one way, simply mark a line on each lug nut and on the wheel itself so the lines are aligned. Keep track of which lug nut went where. Then put them back on, tighten them by hand, and to make up that distance remaining use the Cheater Wrench to get those lines in alignment again. We will post a video soon.
