Default Wheel lock remover kit?

Lost the key to the wheel locks on my daughters car while doing the brakes. Tire place wants almost a hundred dollars? Sounds like new tool time.

No, I don't want to beat one of my good sockets onto to it and the lock was eating my air chisel tip.

Who has had success with what brand of remover? CTA, OEM, Sunnex, Ken-tool($)

My suggestions is to go find out what the tire shops use first, then if the tool/s cost less than having a tire shop do it buy it yourself.

Your good sockets should have a lifetime warranty. I've never seen a wheel lock I couldn't get off with a 12 pt socket and a hammer. I've never ruined one of my good sockets either.

I bought my wheel lock kit from the Snap on truck, part #LSR1000A. Well worth the investment.

I used my old oil pressure sender socket. Worked great and didn't damage the socket either
