1.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking tool that does not work., May 28, 2009

Bought this tool set to remove locking lug nuts on a 66 ford that I lost the special locking key to. This tool says it can remove locking lug nuts, even tapered ones, that the key has been lost. This is possible but they would not fit these of any others I tried to see if they would fit any locking lug nuts. Would not fit any 13/16 locking nuts I tried them on. Bummer.

Tool is great quality but the sizing and design clearly shows it was designed for removing a rounded off lug nut not typical locking lug nuts, which have a slightly larger circumference than a lug nut. The sizing is so close that it barely would fit on a regular lug nut. The round locking nuts are slightly larger and there for the none of the tools would fit it tight enough to grip the nut to be able to remove it. So basically for locking lug nuts its useless.

There may be some these will work on but you should check the size of the locking lug nut. If it is larger than the standard lug nut size these will not work. Smaller than standard size you might get them to work up to maybe 50 thousand smaller.

1.0 out of 5 stars Questionable quality, July 6, 2011

This review is from: Lock Technology (LT 4240) 5 Piece 1/2 in. Drive Locking Lugnut Twist Socket Removal Kit (Misc.)

Made in China as of June 2011. The metallurgical quality and the sizing are both suspect. The included instructions are self-contradicting: they recommend using an impact wrench, and then indicate that these are not impact-grade sockets and should *not* be used on an impact wrench. (This is all printed on the same piece of paper.)

I'm unable to comment on the long-term durability, as these removal tools do not fit any damaged fastener that I've needed to remove.
