But when you got mad and took aviation shears and cut them all off without trying it on one first, you found out they were then a non SAE and non Metric size and you didn't have a socket that would fit them anymore
Ask me how I know
That's where you need one of these, not sure of the torque that one of these could take though.

I remember seeing them on late night TV
My father in law, who never used more than a screwdriver or hammer in all the decades I knew him, bought ALL of those gimmick tools

It has been decades, that much I remember (or don't remember as the case may be)
Maybe I have it backwards. Maybe they got screwed up because I used a metric socket on them when they were an imperial size, or vice-versa. I think I still have some spare lugs for that car knocking around in my cabinet, even though it's been gone for 30+ years.
