Funny enough I've got some extensive work done around this as 3 of my locking nuts are completely shot (Thankfully Dog Book sorted me some brand spanky new ones) Now depending on what type of locking nut you have depends on what will work.
If the locking nut has a ring on the outside of the nut then the laser removal tool will not work it has nothing to grip onto to remove the nut so there is no point at all. Save your money.
You could smack on a socket, but I've found it's really 50/50 as to if this will work or not and depending on the socket and age it might just completely shatter the socket.
Another method is that you can get a chisel and try getting it on at an angle and smack it with enough force it'll eventually move the nut (Probably your best bet in this case as they won't be done up too tight)
Final option and in my case the option I had to use. I contact McGard in Germany who made the wheel nuts and after a few emails (and them trying to get me to buy a new key) they sent me their removal kit which is basically 3 colbat drill pieces and 3 sockets which line up dead centre so you can drill the bolt out.
