Interesting. Never heard of them before. It is easy to see how the design would indeed keep the torque at the base of the nut instead of the top. Wish those were around (or I knew they were) back in the day when I used to actually change wheels a lot. I don't know how many busted lugs and skinned knuckles I had because the wrench wasn't quite snug enough on the nut.
