Okay, so I bought this Cartman 18-inch lug wrench because my car's lug nuts were tighter than my jeans after Thanksgiving dinner. Let me tell you, this thing is HEAVY. I'm pretty sure it weighs more than my gym membership fees. When it arrived, I thought I'd accidentally ordered a boat anchor. Seriously, I half-expected a barnacle to be clinging to it.But hey, "heavy duty" is right there in the name, and they weren't kidding. This lug wrench is like the Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson of lug wrenches. It's built like a tank, probably forged in the fires of Mount Doom (or maybe just a factory in China, but let's go with Mount Doom).The four-way design is pretty nifty. It's like having a Swiss Army knife for your lug nuts. I felt like a pit crew member in the Indy 500, even though I was just wrestling with a flat tire in my driveway.Now, about the "non-slip" grips... they're definitely grippy. So grippy, in fact, that I think they might have absorbed some of my life force. My hands felt like I'd been arm-wrestling a grizzly bear after changing that tire. But hey, at least the wrench didn't slip, right? That's the important thing. I mean, the really important thing. My aching biceps? Just a minor side effect.So, would I recommend this lug wrench? If you're looking for a tool that could probably double as a medieval bludgeoning weapon, and you want to get a serious arm workout while changing your tires, then absolutely. Just be prepared to ice your muscles afterward. And maybe invest in some hand lotion. My palms are still trying to regain their original shape. Five stars for heavy duty-ness, but maybe minus a star for making me feel like I'm 80 years old. Also, maybe Cartman should stick to cartoons.
