Since we first got the car, I've wanted a four-way lug wrench.
I've never liked the stock wrench that comes with the car; a lug wrench is your best friend if you get a flat on the road.
I finally found a car parts shop within walking distance from the rail station near Tamaki campus. What I thought was a part place was a repair shop. The next shop was a panel-beaters and more repair places lined the road. There had a to be a parts shop with wholesale prices to the shops and retail prices to the public.
A few more blocks and I found it: Repco Auto Parts.
I couldn't find the wrench, so I asked at the counter.
"Hello, I need a lug wrench."
"A what?" came his reply.
"A wheel lug nut wrench?" I asked more than stated.
He thought a bit, and I crossed my forearms and said "For changing tyres." I tried to make the Y in tyres stand out.
"Jacob! Take this gentleman to aisle seven and show him a wheel brace."
Yes, that's what I wanted.
