True I suppose but annoyed I didn't see the black pliers in the black polystyrene. Pretty sure on my wife's Fabia you do use the hook as the caps have a slot in them.

 

I sympathise with you.

 

I also did not see the plastic tweezers in the boot of my Kodiaq until long after I’d ordered one online (complete with plastic dust caps). Also wondering why the “wrong” metal hook had been supplied by mistake.

 

As above, the hook is used for other things.

 

I could only blame myself for not spotting the hidden tweezers.

The best £10 I've spent.

 

As your car ages, or after winter, or if the wheels bolts have been over tightened, they can be very dfficult to undo, especially on the side of the road on a scissor (widow maker) jack.

 

The supplied wheel brace often prevents sufficent leverage to overcome that initial resistance.

 

A doddle with one of these, I store mine with the jack...

 

 

No, no,no.  What you need in your door pocket is one these extending bad boys.

 

 

With double ended socket for helping others.

 

Opens up to 500mm

When I had my 16 plate Yeti, I had a non repairable puncture at 778 miles. With my 18 plate Karoq I have done a bit better - 1155 miles before a non repairable puncture - thank goodness I had a full size spare in each case.....

 

oh no. Thought I was unlucky with mine!

Much the same here, prior to getting the spare wheel etc, all the bits (including the plastic pliers) where loose in the plastic bag. Easy to lose I guess, have you checked in the side storage bins in the boot area?

 

Checked all the boot area. Can only assume that it never came with any as can't see why someone would take them out the bag.

 

Anyway I've ordered a pair.
