Locking wheel nuts

[ronald5256]

So I got the car a bit back now and need to put some new tyres on the back only to find some locking nut in place and that the previous owner had not passed on the key nice so I got myself this
It works mint seconds and thay came right off and best off all no damage to my wheels

Lock nuts are such a pain. Nobody would steal your wheels anyway they would be quicker taking your car.

How much that set you back

I got it from a good frend of mine who is a mac tools dealer I told him I was after something to get the dam things off and told me he would sort me out cost me £70 on a deal I don't know the rrp I did some research online and I believe only the trade can buy them normally the manual tells me it will take off 100% of the locking nuts/studs on the road today ??? The rac and the aa apparently use it all I can say it did mine and my friends with no problems so if you are around the derbyshire area and are having trouble with them give me a shout lol

The other way is to put a socket piece over the locking nut

Just had a look at there site they retail for around £120

So I got a good deal from him I will not argue with it

Advertise it as a service online and undercut garages prices for some extra penny's!

The people on hear have given me lots of help and advice so if one of you had the need and was around my way I would gladly lend a hand as for others not part of our little group putting it online as a service maybe it would make me some extra corsa cash [emoji1]

Be warned, they do not work if the lock nut has been overtightened and snapped the lock key. We got an identical set as yours at work for 120euro and a merc with tight lock nuts ruined that whole set. The peices that come in the box only work on a few wheels each before they are ruined but can be bought seperatley.

Also some places charge 50euro PER WHEEL here to remove them lol.

I think 50 a wheel is a bit on the steep side of life I don't mind people making a profit on hard work and investment but I don't like to see hard working people getting hit in the pocket as we are in so many ways
