Much smaller kit, too. I'm sure this has more capability, but the little craftsman kit I have saved me so much damn money and frustration that I can't help but shill it for this kind of use-case. Way easier too since you don't need to drill or anything. I was really skeptical at first, but it did all 4 wheels in like 15 minutes tops.

Actually you're both wrong, having good points but missing the main one. When a torque wrench is building up its spring pressure it should not go from high tension to instantly loose that many times. You take the tool out of calibration. I'm not sure of you guys but I was actually trained through automotive manufacturers and this was a big no no. As well what's the situation if you have a nut that is tighter than the value you're trying for, will you leave that nut alone to not go too hard on it?

If you can find me any source that actually demonstrates this is true I'll PayPal you a dollar. Reversible torque wrenches work fine in forward and reverse, they are not harmed by not reaching a torque threshold, and provided you aren't going insane, turning past the click point will not damage them either as they are no longer relying on the internal springs. Basic physics matter here.

ah yes, i have a locking lug nut I need to remove, so instead of just buying the key for the lug nut, I will buy a whole extracting tool kit to remove it! Genius!!

I had a locking lug nut key break removing one, just used an undersized socket on each one with a few taps of a hammer to remove them. Took about a minute per wheel. Removing the lug nut from the socket took a bit longer though but a grade 8 bolt helps.

Hammering on a 12 point socket on that fits close works really well. It ruins the socket after enough times but I just use a cheap harbor freight one

Hey Chris long time no see! I had success just using 17 mm 12 point socket and hammer it down😅

The kit that I had was just some sockets that were round and tapered and you just pounded them on, and you could reuse the lug nuts if you wanted to

With the 19mm honda wheel locks, you just have to use a 20mm deep socket, hammer the socket into the wheel lock, then loosen it with the air gun.

I dont know how much this tool is, but when this happened on my toyota, I drove it to a toyota dealer, and the tech came out with a key ring with like 20 lug keys on it. within 10 minutes he figured out which one I needed and sold it to me for $15

Um has anyone else noticed that the hardened removal tool has stripped on the end? I wonder how many wheel nuts it removed before it strips! I have oh so many tools for locking nut removal but that doesn’t look like one I will be adding to my collection! Great video as always!

I've used one where it is an interference fit on the outside of the wheel lock without damage. That is if it could grip it enough.

In a pinch, you can also pound a 19mm multipoint deep socket on there and get it out as well.

If you go buy a 12 sided socket a bit smaller than the round lock nut, you can beat it on and turn then turn the locking nut off. It worked perfectly on my 2018 Ford Edge. Much cheaper than that tool set and I have a pretty good 12 point socket to reuse!

Yeah I just welded a nut to the end of mine. Surrounded it with a damp rag so the welding didn't damage the rim. No expensive tool needed besides the equipment I already own

I like that set, whats the brand? At the shop I work at we do it different... bit more annoying. *on lift* 1. Take off all normal lugs 2. Rotate rim so lock lug is at top 3. Wack the bottom of the wheel outward 4. Use a turbo/extractor socket Has worked everytime so far

I needed to get a locking wheel nut off once, didn't have the key, but I found someone who had the exact same model of car and asked them. Their key fit perfectly. Apparently manufacturers issue a variety of key patterns to each model, so either I got lucky or Renault were just lazy with the MK2 Clio. Put normal nuts on after that, no one would have wanted to steal the wheels off that thing anyway.

i get the feeling those universal sockets will also do the trick. they might not last too many uses from the high torque but certainly easier than drilling holes into nuts and bolts.
