Default Locking wheel nuts ..and no `key`...no problem!

Had this problem recently and after much head scratching found at local car accessory shop `Locking wheelnut removal tool`
At just over a tenner this was snapped up and the nuts were off inside ten minutes.
Its a 1/2" drive hardened sleeve with a tapered internal reverse thread which fits over the nut, two are supplied so will cover most sizes. With an impact wrench and a 2lb hammer they were straight off in a couple of minutes.
Very handy..but it makes you think!!
