Any experience with geared lug nut wrench?

I am thinking of getting one of these because of it's compact size to go along with a donut spare. Any experience?

No experience, but I noticed that Harbor Freight has a 50% sale going on right now for the geared wrenches. $15 compared to the normal $30.

I have never used a geared wrench before but go ahead and give us a review. I'd be interested in hearing how it works in real life.

Personally I like to keep it simple and have always used

Gorilla Wrenches

They are great. Inexpensive, 14" and then extend to 21". More than enough leverage to break the lugs off even with the lazy shop guys torque the nuts down with the impact wrench.

And if it ever comes down to it. I'm sure it would make a pretty impressive "beatin stick". You can flick it out like a police baton.
