[b]Lug wrenches[/b] are a type of [[wrench]] that that have specifically-shaped holes (its "sockets") on their ends to physically fit a [[motor vehicle|vehicle]] wheel [[nut (hardware)|]]s (the wheel "lugs"), the fasteners used to hold the smaller parts of the wheel together in place, and are used to either loosen or tighten them.

A lug wrench can come as either L-shaped metal rod, or X-shaped piece, and may be considered as non-ratcheting [[socket wrench]], because they used special shaped holes can be [[socket (tool)|swappable]] with other pieces or not. A lug wrench may be confused with an tire lever by referring them as "tire iron''  a tool that used to separate the tire or hubcaps of the wheel that may be covering a wheel's lug nuts.
