Default Avoiding Burrs with your Wheel Lock Key

This is my “hack” - using an Attack Driver and wheel nut socket.

As torsion is only applied when the key is pushed hard into the lock head, it gets results without further damage when often a key is burred to the point of slipping off when used with a breaker or other tool.
Being reasonably gentle with your hits, and lightly preloading the torsion by twisting the driver handle, assist.
