Does anybody know where i can buy one of these. Lost the key for my locking nuts

and they look like one of these will easily take them off.

Cheers

I had one of those sockets with the pins in that moved to fit around whatever shape the nut was. What a waste of money, The pins fell out as soon as I used it. They don't take much force.
Do your locking nuts have a ring around the outside? If not hammer a socket around the outside of the locker.

Halfords sell locking wheel nut removers. Never tried them but I've seen them in there.

In the past I have hammered sockets on and even on ones that have spinning rings I have drilled and used easi-outs.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
