    Always use the correct wrench or socket, and know if your nut has a right or left handed thread. Let’s not bust any nuts this month.

    I hate wingnuts, they were always screwed on so tight when I wanted to take these off of random things as a kid. If I ever see another wingnut, it’s screwed. This post reminded me of my hatred towards them, thank you, I will internalize the hate and wield it as a power of doom and destruction against the oldest-known metallic foe. #screwwings #bottomking #2023 #internalizethehate

      They’re just plastic, the real lug nuts are underneath. We have a hexagonal plastic handle to slide over to take them off before removing a wheel.

    I don’t know what side of debates I’d take there, but the possibility it would be our own column drama like in OG r/196 brings me joy, turning my cap into an acorn.
