Lug Ripper

Proudly made in the USA

You strip ’em,
we rip ’em.

The Lug Ripper kit drills out stripped and rounded lug nuts, so the wheel comes off and you get back on the road.

Lug nuts and studs with their threads drilled out
Lug Ripper Gen 5 drill bit

Threads gone. Nut off.

Lug Ripper cuts the threads out of the lug nut and the stud. Once the nut breaks free, replace both and put the wheel back on.

How it works

  1. Fit the guide

    Pick the guide that matches your lug nut and slide it on with the slots open top and bottom. Lock it with the collar clamp.

  2. Mark your depth

    Measure the stud and nut, then put blue tape on the bit at half the distance you need to drill.

  3. Drill slow, keep it cool

    Break through the head, then drop to low speed with light pressure. Keep water on the shaft inside the guide.

  4. Pull the nut, replace the stud

    Try a socket at any point. Once the nut breaks free, remove the wheel and replace the nut and stud.

Rules for our tools

Go slow

Use a ½" two-speed battery drill. Air and corded drills spin too fast for this bit.

Keep it cool

If the bit smokes, stop and cool the bit and guide with water before you carry on.

Lug nuts only

Not for European lug bolts or lug locks. Always wear safety glasses.
