The "hub spanner" is a useful thing to have.
I objected to paying money for one, mine is made from a piece of bandsawed 18mm birch ply, sort of C shaped with holes to match two wheel studs.
This forms the head of the spanner, the handle of which is 2" x 1" hardwood bolted to the head.
It is lightweight and can be carried on the car easily.
It works fine and is much more civilised and less destructive than a piece of angle iron jammed across a couple of studs - which is definitely NOT recommended.
