    Tire iron from large lug wrench

    When was the last time you used a jack handle or lug wrench when changing a flat?
    EXACYLY. So what use is a lug wrench for a 1 ton truck other than slapping someone beside their head with it.
    This lug wrench has been under the back seat of my old 93 crew cab probably since it rolled away from the dealership.
    I am always in need of tire irons so why not straighten it out and forge the end down just a little to make an otherwise unneeded tool into something more useful

    it is 29" long and now has a very slight hook on the end plus I flattened the tip a few more inches back to make the taper longer
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
