Torque Wrench...

Sup everyone,

Well I just had my new wheels installed and I realize that the stock wrench that I have in my car wont work with my "tuner" lugs so if I get a flat I am pretty much fked. I am going to be installing Muteki lock lug nuts soon, but in order to take the ones off I have now (non lock tuner lugs), I need to get a wrench. Where is a good place that I can buy just an ordinary wrench that would be easy to use to switch my lug nuts and help me in the future if I ever get a flat. Also, when I switch my lug nuts, I wouldnt need to raise the car or anything right? All I need to do is take one lug out at a time and install the new ones, am I correct? Any help will be appreciated, I am still new to all this .

Thanksss

you can get a good breaker bar at any autozone, pep boys, kragen.

DO NOT use a torque wrench to break loose lugs.

You can switch your lug nuts that way, but I wouldn't do that personally. It doesn't take long to raise the car enough take the weight off a wheel anyway.
