>One of my favorites, when you really need it, is a proper lug-wrench.
Mine is made up from Craftsman socket wrench >parts:  a 19 mm socket, a 3"
extension (to permit the force to be applied parallel with the face of the
tire), and >a 15" "breaker-bar" (or "speed bar" as they are called in the
Sears catalog).  It seems to work well.

I've got exactly the same rig sitting by the driver's seat in mine. Useful
for self defense as well --- spare tires aren't the only roadside
emergency you have to be prepared for........
