LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

They make a special socket just for this. It will ruin the locks though. Most any wheel shop should have one and I believe Advanced sells them.

I'd like to know what the point is of wheel locks if there is a device out there that you can use to remove them......

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it really make a sound?

there are a few different universal sets out there. the point is that its more of a pain in the ass to get them off (takes more time switching sockets) plus, the person would have to know which set you have to find the right socket....
