Congrats on the 1000th
Check canadian tire they might have the tool...
I know snapon/Mac tools have a lock nut removing tool. But once the locknut is removed its garbage.
The tool Cuts into the locknut.

NAPA has a socket that you use on an impact gun which will remove the nuts by gripping on to the outside of the nuts. The inside of the socket is has a reverse spiral which gets tighter on the nut as you back it out. It works kind of like a screw extractor. I will see if I can get a price and part # for you tomorrow.

Doesn't easy access to these kinds of tools sort of make the lock nut useless in the first place? I'm sure any thief intent on steeling wheels has one in each pocket.

Guys, its not hard to remove these nuts...A theif doesnt even need any special tools for it.
If a theif wants your wheels, locking nuts do jack s***. ;)

No, he's saying that experienced thieves aren't slowed down at all by them... but to the random moron that wants your locked wheels, that could be a chore for them to steal.

Well if it wasn't your car you were trying to get someone elses locks off, I do suggest a Big f***ing hammer, but nevermind that, I would never do something like that...................yay go to CT if they don't have it, find the guy that does the commercials for them, he has EVERYTHING, and he will tell you how to use it too..
