The unstucker kits were just another bag full of useless crap floating around the back of the truck. Even the plates eventually got tossed, as the mechanics were tired of having to get out 2 or 3 sockets instead of just one to remove a tire.
Add to that, the poor drivers (said with a slight grin) thinking that little T wrench that came with the unstucker was for changing the tire. It did not have the leverage required to remove the actual wheel, but often the operators would lose the full size wrench and only have the tiny one.
