Lock Technology LT400-25 Twist Socket Locking Lugnut Remover

I removed all 4 locks in about 10 minutes.

I just received this socket. I purchased a car that does not have the key for the 4 locking lugs. I was able to get the first locking lug off, problem free, I removed the lug from the socket and started to try to remove the next one. It will no longer bite into the next lug like it did on the first one.How I removed the lug from the socket: I placed them both in the over for about 10 minutes, this loosened up the grip the socket had on the lug and I was able to remove it without much effort. I then let the socket cool back to room temp before using again.When I tried to get it to bite the next nut, it will not hold, I tried to hammer it on, no good, it will not grab. So if you have more than one lug to remove, plan on buying the same amount of sockets. It is obvious this is a one time only tool.Edit -I ended up buying three 16pt sockets from the hardware store and hammering them onto the lugs to remove.

Like others have noted, you can't remove four locking lugnuts with this tool. In my case, it worked well for the first one. However, the internal rifling grooves were largely gone and I had to forcefully hit the tool with a hammer several times to get it to bite on the second lug. It was unusable after that. Just be aware that you will need at least 2 of these to remove a complete set of locking lugs.
