I wrecked my McGard key today, probably due to overtightening, the bolt head was ok but the metal used to make the key is obv. a lot softer n it's f*cked now Not sayin they're crap, probs my own fault, but there u go. Anyone know where can I get a new key??

When you buy yhtm you get a form to send away so you can re-order the exact key.
