TSW ones I have:
Never had any problems with them and the socket will not slip if you hold it at an angle by mistake.

What was up with the Vauxhall ones you used?
In my experience Mcguard ones are shit and the keys are soft as shit. Vauxhall are the best ones for me.

each set has it's own unique number, that you need to order a new key for your locking nuts

Any locking nut is easy to get off TBH. If someone wants your wheels they will have them, all you can do is slow that process down.
I used to run two differing sets that opposed each other.

Exactomundo.
If someone's wanting your wheels bad enough they'll take them regardless of the bolts. But I'd imagine that even having cheap ones would put people off more than 4 hex bolts. At least the opportunists anyway.
