I hate it too

Muteki lug wrench is so cheap it breaks! I broken two of them. I ordered new spoon lugs but I still have to remove the old ones.

Use a breaker bar or use an impact wrench. You want to "snap" the bolts loose; just pulling is not going to work. Also, be sure to use anti-seize on the bolts next time and torque to the proper specification. Over-tightening the lugnuts can also lead to warping your rotors due to uneven pressure.

I use a big bar with a copper pipe over the end when I have a stuck lug. Then I try to unseize it with a quick jerk to snap it free. If you end up stripping the lug, you need to pound on a smaller socket with a hammer and continue.

Why?

Hammer or foot + wrench will do just fine. Shock force for the win.

By the way, left is loose.
