Did the job with a breaker bar
worked as promised, I used silly putty to get an imprint of the wheel lock nut and measured the diameter with a caliper, you can use a small ruler or measuring tape, and made sure that the 13/16 in. socket will work, I didn't have impact gun so I hammered the socket on the nut the metal is so tough on this sockets don't hesitate to hammer it like mad and once you feel is locked in place use the braker bar, to remove the socket from the nut use a vice or do it my way I used a closed end wrench and hammerd it deep on the other side of the nut, now you have the breaker bar on one side and the closed end wrench on the other and the old nut and the socket in the middle, you need to find something that will give you lavarage I used the v shaped branching point between 2 tree banches in the street and was able to unscrew the socket, to remove the closed end wrench from the old nut you hammer on the nut sides and it will come right off the wrench, note that the steel/ vanadium or molybdenum alloy in the wrench and the socket is way tougher than the wheel nut dont be scared that you will ruin your socket ot wrech this held me back for 40 min before I removed the first nut, once I relised that I removed the second nut in less than a min. I just wanted to share how I did it, sorry if it is too ghetto I am not American and back home we learn to work with whatever we have. this is the Egyptian way, good luck

Just grind bevel end and Hammer an impact socket on.
Dont Waste Time and Money on this 2 piece lock lug remover that cant work. Poorly designed spirals dont have any bite. Too small for F150 didnt work even after grinding diameter down with die grinder or dremel and small cone shaped stone. What worked was grinding small bevel on lock lug and hammering on one of my 6 pt impact sockets I used 15/16. My Impact sockets have radius corners like flank drive. Thank you YouTuber who I got Idea from they used a 12point socket to hammer on but I did not have that size with me.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
No
Package indicates it will remove stripped lug nuts. It will not fit on my 2013 Caravan lug nuts. The cap stripped off and it will not even fit the stud . (18mm) So it does not remove stripped or damaged lug nuts. Package should state not for newer metric lug nuts.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
was hopeful...
Both sizes were too large for my Cherokee ,had to return(long trip)and a waste of my day.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Not work
It's not fit & can't return when you open
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Only works on some cars, and wont know til you buy/try
This product does NOT work for the average S.Korean or Japanese sedan or SUV. 2015 Hyundai sonata and 2015 Nissan Rogue, specifically. The smaller of the two is too big for the 22mm lug nuts.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
