[QUOTE="P M, post: 904604, member: 62814"] I cut a tire this morning and had to use the supplied jack and lug wrench to change the tire. No big deal. However, when jacking it up, the the part of the wrench that slips over the rod to turn the screw on the jack stripped. It is VERY soft metal. So, had to borrow some vice grips to turn the jack and get it up another couple inches to replace the tire. Recommend you consider alternatives to the lug wrench to turn the screw on the jack, or simply a different jack/lug wrench combo. Vice grips or channel locks would work fine. I was fortunate to be where I could borrow something to make it work. Would not have worked out had I been on the side of the highway or somewhere remote. [/QUOTE]
