Question:

Do you have problems with using saran-plastic wrap stuff ?

I can barely get the crap out of the box !

Answer:

ok.use a propane torch to heat them up for a miniute or so then clamp a really good pair of vice grips on to the nuts.{dont burn the tire}.if this doesnt work then you can grind them off {careful on this}
Spray them with something (wd40 or whatever you have around) then you can clamp a pair of vice grips on and either tap it with a hammer, or put a breaker bar on the end of the vice grips.
There is a special locking wrench, that you need to put on your lug nutThen take a long piece of pipe and put it on the lug nut and push hard.
They make a special too that will remove stripped lug nutsHowever, you have the right idea with the socketTry a 12-point socket or an even smaller socket than the one that slipped offA shop with a pneumatic impact wrench could have them off easily but at a cost of course.
Nope My daughter is like youWrapping a single bowl of fruit salad can take up to 10 minutes, use several feet of plastic wrap and usually results in some colorful language I've tried numerous times to show her how I do it without any problems, she follows the steps and still ends up with a steadily shrinking triangle of plastic wrap coming off the roll, a wad of plastic wrap or a piece that looks like it's going to work until she gets near the dish to be covered and it suddenly goes wrong in any number of ways We have concluded some people are plastic wrap challenged and should use aluminium foil insteadTo the poster aboveAluminum foil box problems When you first open the box be sure to press the tabs at the ends into the roll it helps stabilize the roll and box Then take a small length of tape I use 1 inch clear packaging tape and tape around the ends of the box reinforcing the corners This typically keeps the box together long enough to use all the aluminum foil in it Also works to keep the plastic wrap box together.
