I soooo HATE wheel locks

I hated when customers did that shit. And yes to the 2nd part. They never had a clue where it was last used.
Sounds like Chad had to put some gloves on today.

Always leave mine in the cup holder when the vehicle is dropped off. I also always pick up nails & screws I see on the ground… and always return my cart … Pretty sure I’m going straight to Heaven when the time comes.

The "cure" is worse than the disease. The sad thing they are not very effective, and if someone fails to remove the locks, it is likely that damage has been done.I soooo HATE wheel locks

Harbor freight has a master set that will remove 99% of them so they are kinda pointless

I lost my key once. A guy I knew in the ‘car salvage’ industry had mine off in 5 minutes.
Using something like this. Just spun it off. I never used them again.

This style doesnt always work on the factory mopar sets. Mopar is gay and uses a spinning outer ring that prevents this style from working properly. I personally use an air hammer to get them off lol
jeeeep

don't know if they make them different not, but the ones I had were made with an outer shell which I cut off with a dremel then used a slightly undersized socket "persuaded" onto what was left and off they came.Haha, the Mopar ones are a bitch to break off too for sure

I’ll have to try the air hammer. Still dumb I have to do this in the first place.

There is a universal locking lug nut socket. The lug nut will have to be replaced after using it.

Yea that spinning outer ring is a bitch.
Years ago I left the key on my fender flare and drove off. I went to the techs at the dealership and they had like 30 different keys from different VINs and not one of them fit.
I tried all kinds of ‘universal keys’ to no avail.
When I swapped out my stockers for beadlocks, I cut the locking lugs off with a cutoff wheel. Destroyed the stock rims and threw ‘em in the trash.

Oh yeah the JK ones are wild… the outer shell spins and spins and I remember having to work it back over itself with a slightly oversized socket and hammer until I could get enough of a grip on the end with a wheel lock breaking socket.
