Abstract
A lug nut removal tool enables a user to remove a seized lug nut from a threaded stud. The lug nut removal tool comprises a drill bit which is drilled through a guide which can be adjusted in size by a collar. The drill bit comprises a plurality of blades separated by slots; the plurality of blades are mechanically coupled to cutting edges. The guide comprises guide slots which can be used to align the guide about the seized lug nut. In this manner, the user can attach the guide onto the seized lug nut and tighten the guide with a set screw. Then the user can attach the drill bit onto an air drill to cutting edge out the seized lug nut.
Claims14
A lug nut removal tool configured to remove a seized lug nut from around a threaded stud, the lug nut removal tool comprising:
- a generally tubular linearly elongated outer guide adapted for fittingly circumscribing a lug nut head and comprising a generally tubular sidewall terminating at a distal flange and forming guide slots linearly along said sidewall, wherein said guide is adapted in length and diameter to align about the lug nut head of the seized lug nut such that the flange receives the lug nut and an inner diameter of the guide is compressed radially onto the seized lug to secure the guide to the lug nut in a secure manner and parallel about a linear centerline;
- a collar having a set screw secured about said tubular sidewall for compressing the inner diameter of the guide onto the seized lug nut;
- a drill bit capable of being removably inserted through the guide, the drill bit comprising a generally cylindrical shaft forming a cylindrical central cavity which is linearly aligned along the linear centerline and having a plurality of blades separated by slots, each slot being generally collinear with the guide slots and each blade angled in a helical manner and terminates with a cutting edge.
