what kind of jack do you carry along for when you need to change a flat

any nuggets of knowledge about changing trailer tires by the side of the

Make sure that a mechanic with an air wrench has not over-tightened the
lug nuts such that you won't be able to get them off. (This goes for
your tow vehicle as well.) Guess why I mention this. My "strong-arm"
teenage son was able to break the lug-nut wrench, but the nuts stayed
tight.
