Have you seen on TV that funky socket that's comprised of a bunch of steel spokes. It self conforms to the shape of ANY bolt, and allows you to remove stripped head bolts, etc.

Guess what they're using to remove those wheel-locks that are based-upon a pattern . . .

I think a better wheel-lock is the key-based one. There is no pattern for the self-conforming socket to attach to. Just hope you never loose the key.

I myself don't use them because that's what insurance is for. . .
