Most modern vehicles come with Alloy Wheels either as standard or as an option. In addition to these, it’s usual to find each is secured to the vehicle with a locking wheel nut of some description or other.

Whilst these are excellent at deterring thieves, they can be a nightmare if you lose the special key or buy a vehicle from someone else who conveniently forgets to give you said special key at the time of purchase.

If you’re in this unfortunate position, these NEW Locking Wheelnut remover sockets from Japan are the perfect answer. Made from chrome vanadium steel, these impact grade, 1/2" drive sockets have a left handed tapered thread and come in seven different sizes.

Simply screw the socket onto the locking wheelnut until it 'bites' then attach a 1/2" drive ratchet and continue to turn to loosen the nut.

You’ll be amazed at the effectiveness of these sockets, we’ve yet to come across a locking wheel nut that can defeat them, even those fitted to luxury vehicles like Mercedes.

To select the appropriate size socket, measure the outer diameter of your locking wheel nuts (excluding any free-spinning metal cylinder around the circumference) and choose the nearest locking wheel nut remover that is larger than the diameter you measured.

We only stock 24mm and 27mm wheelnut removers as standard but we also offer other sizes as a special order item. Contact us with the outer diameter of the locking wheelnut that you need to remove and we will let you know whether there is a suitable sized socket.
