Abstract
A folding lug wrench for removing lug nuts and for operating a jack. A hot forged stub socket is pivotally attached to a handle with a yoke which substantially distributes out the torque forces over large areas which results in an increased torque capacity for the wrench. When the wrench is not in use, it can be pivoted and stored in the handle and held by a projection.
