THE REVIEW:

s a technician, properly
lighting a workspace can
be tricky at best, especially
when both hands are needed to
complete the job. Scott Brown, ASE
Master Certified L1 Technician at
Connie & Dick's Auto Service Center
in Claremont, California, found a way
around the hassle with Ledlenser's
iH11R, a head-mounted flashlight that
he says is " pretty doggone cool. "

The flashlight comes mounted to a
strap that wraps around the head, but
other mounting options are included
for mounting the iH11R to helmets
such as magnetic or glue-on mounts.
Additionally, the flashlight comes with
a carrying pouch that can be attached
to a belt.
Brown is impressed with the iH11R's
battery run-time of seven hours and the
ease of recharging the light. The device's

THE REVIEW:

hen it comes to removing
worn lug nuts, having
one tool to do the trick is
a huge time saver. For Eric Moore,
fleet manager of Griffin Pavement
Striping in Columbus, Ohio, the
tapered entry and deep design of
GEARWRENCH's Bolt Biter Lug Nut

rechargeable battery doesn't have to be
removed to recharge it. Brown explains
that it's as simple as plugging the charging cable into the supplied USB adaptor
and connecting the other end of the cable
to the magnetic mount on top of the light
to charge it up.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The GEARWRENCH Bolt Biter Lug Nut
Extraction Sockets are designed to remove
worn or damaged lug nuts. The sockets feature
a tapered entry that makes it easy to seat on a
damaged fastener without hammering, and the
minus-sized sockets are designed to grip
lug nuts that are worn down substantially.
The sockets also have a deep design and
square drive with a hex base.

Extraction Sockets " make all the
difference in the world. "
" Being that the [sockets] are thinwalled means they fit inside most of
your alloy wheels to get the lug nuts
off, " Moore says. " It's also nice that they
are deeper than your average extraction
sockets because then you don't have to

try to use an air hammer or a torch or
anything like that because you couldn't
get your extraction socket on there. "
After repeated strenuous usage,
the sockets held up and impressed the
heavy duty fleet technician.
