67300 Nut Buddy

Keeping your truck on the road

As a semi truck owner-operator or the owner of a commercial truck fleet, maintaining the efficiency and reliability of your vehicles is paramount. Every minute your trucks are off the road translates to lost revenue and increased operational costs. One common yet infuriating issue is dealing with seized lug nuts on your truck’s wheels. Fortunately, AME International has developed a solution that can turn this frustrating problem into a minor inconvenience. The Nut Buddy Torque Multiplier (model # 67300) is a game-changing tool that can save time, money, and stress. Here’s why every truck owner should consider adding it to their toolkit.

The Nightmare of a Seized Lug Nut

Imagine you’re hauling a load across the Midwest, on a tight schedule, and hoping for a smooth journey. But that is not to be. Stopping for a comfort break, you notice one Wheel Nut Indicator is off with your lug nuts on one wheel, showing that it is dangerously loose. When you stop to check all of the lug nuts, you encounter one that’s completely stuck. Whether due to corrosion, overtightening, or damaged threads, getting a stuck lug nut off can be a nightmare. In the past, this situation meant calling for roadside assistance or resorting to drastic measures like cutting off the lug nut – both costly and time-consuming options.

Enter the Nut Buddy

The Nut Buddy Torque Multiplier is a compact, innovative tool designed to solve the problem of seized lug nuts quickly and efficiently. This $100 investment leverages the adjacent wheel stud to loosen even the most stubborn lug nuts effortlessly. Its clever design uses mechanical advantage to multiply the torque applied, making it possible to undo those locked nuts without breaking a sweat.

Key Features of the Nut Buddy:

  • Torque Multiplier: Utilizes mechanical advantage to increase the torque applied to the lug nut, making it easier to loosen even the most stubborn nuts.
  • Compact Design: Small and lightweight, the Nut Buddy is easy to store and transport, making it a perfect addition to any truck’s toolkit.
  • Durability: Built with high-quality materials to withstand the demands of professional use, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
  • Ease of Use: Straightforward to operate, requiring minimal effort and reducing the risk of injury.
