Wheel brace/wrench

[Timbergiant]

I had a bit of a slide yesterday so decided to switch to winter wheels this morning, my old wheelbrace/spider is a bit rubbish and slips as it’s probably just cheap and nasty, I've got an extending angled socket ended thing that comes up if you google wheel brace and it’s just as bad.
So i need a good replacement, what’s the best thing to use, who makes it and where do I get it from?

24" (1/2" drive) breaker bar and the appropriate sized socket to suit your cars wheel nuts.

I've got an extending angled socket ended thing ,,, and it’s just as bad.

I have one of those extending angled socket things, and it uses as conventional socket on the end which is well made and wouldn't slip unless it was the wrong size and/or the nut had been rounded off. I suspect your old wheel brace may have been a poor fit and rounded the nuts off in which case you'll need to replace them. You may be able to remove the damaged ones by hammering an undersize socket over them. The socket may not be usable afterwards.
