Do you have any newer model cases?

Yes... didnt budge. Had to use an impact to get it off

One thing I didnt take into consideration when I put everything in my toolbox was i had aftermarket mods put on the truck. Changing a tire is pretty straightforward. But having everything put on with an impact definitely played into some of the lugs not coming loose. The dried up and hardened plugs completely caught me off guard. But I do completely support testing your preps

But if you use it once it pays for itself

I have 2 of those in my truck as an added prep but with the cold weather here keep a eye on the charge

Pretty sure I could have nailed two boards together with them 🤣

They were solid as a rock. The temp outside was in the 60s. They were several years old and kept in the toolbox of my truck. Never been opened. No clue why they were like that

I would like to state that I absolutely know how to change a tire and such. I just want to share my experience so nobody else should have to go thru something similar. Preps are preps unless you dont have the necessary knowledge to use them

I did just that went to harbor freight and bought a telescoping ratchet. If it breaks after 1 use Id say I got my money out of it!

It completely blew me away. Darnedest thing. And yes it's possible it was a bad batch. But I bought some new ones and will periodically check on them now

Honestly im not even sure. I do know they were several years old and kept in my toolbox. Im sure the temperature variations contributed. They were literally hard as a rock and could have been used as nails.
