Best to use tools when loosening lug nut

Mon Nov 12, 6:12 PM ET

SOUTHWORTH, Wash. - A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, sheriff's deputies said.

The 66-year-old man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks at his home northwest of Southworth, about 10 miles southwest of Seattle, and had gotten all but one of the lug nuts off the right rear wheel by Saturday afternoon, Kitsap County Deputy Scott Wilson said.

"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said.

From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel and was "peppered" in both legs with buckshot and debris, with some injuries as high as his chin, according to a sheriff's office report.

"Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said.

The man was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with injuries Wilson described as severe but not life-threatening.

That's what he gets for trying to loosen them all at once. You use a 9mm and do them one at a time. Duh!!

I witnessed a dude get so mad that he took an axe to his wheel. It was so hilarous mainly because he was this rich, type a personality *******. He drove in this parking lot real fast and hit his wheel on the cement parking thingy and destroyed it. Obviously, when he didn't get what he wanted while trying to remove the wheel he went off the deep end. The axe got him no where but really tired, really quick. His face looked like this
:evil:

I'm thinking more like a trailer on 2 acres, a long ways outside of town. (He's been working on a Lincoln Continental for 2 weeks, and can't get the lug nuts off.)

Seriously, these are lessons that a grown up shouldn't need.
