A hand held device for aligning and supporting a lug nut tool having a socket on one end of an extended arm when rotating lug nuts on a vehicle wheel. The device is a lug nut tool support having a plurality of cylindrical through openings in an elongated main element positioned so that the plurality of cylindrical through openings is generally facing the vehicle wheel, with each opening providing a different elevation to align and support the lug nut tool when rotating the lug nuts during vehicle maintenance operations. An anchoring means may be added to each end of the tool support to reduce the likelihood of the tool support sliding on slippery surfaces. The cylindrical through openings are sized to allow any socket of the lug nut tool to pass through the cylindrical through openings and reduce the likelihood of the tool binding in the tool support.
I claim for use in removing and replacing a vehicle wheel secured to the vehicle by a plurality of spaced lug nuts, when using a lug nut tool having a socket on one end of an extended arm, such a rigid “L” shaped lug nut tool with one arm carrying a socket compatible to the lug nuts, or when using a 4 way lug nut tool having four radially extending arms, each lug nut tool having at least one arm carrying a socket compatible with the lug nuts, a lug nut tool support comprising:
