Wheel locks - Here's how to get them off w/o the key
I'm refering to wheel locks which have the key that fits into the crazy shape slot. These are useless as locks and can be taken off with a 20 dollar tool that you can get at Home Depot.
The tool - I'm sure you've seen in on TV before. It's that socket which has all the little prongs that fits on ANY SIZE bolt or screw or just about anything else you can imagain. Well just place that tool on your wheel lock apply pressure and the prongs take the shape of your lock perfectly and PRESTO, your wheels are gone.
If anybody here has this type of lock on your wheels please beware they are removed in seconds. I'm not that familiar with lock types but you should shop around real carefully when deciding on which wheel locks to get. Anything that has a keyed socket type thing is useless.

Re: Re: Re: the point is that..
Yeah, I'm interested too. I spent like 45 bucks for a set for me and my mom's car, and now I hear that the gator can take those off in a snap? I guess if anyone wants to get into a car they can, it's just how much trouble are they willing to go through...: (
