Simple to use, it is setup to be used with the tools in the kit only. Can't incorporate an extention or ratchet from your common tools but I think its a good thing to not damage it. Works perfectly with what it comes.I HATE THAT I CANT KNOW HOW TIGHT THE LUGS NUTS ARE by just the tool use, the cranking does not seem to get tight, gonna get a cheater tube for my breaker bar to "feel" how tight they are. Only used one time so I cannot attest to the longevity or durability.
