Thought I would pass this along as I learned the hard way. I replaced all my lug nuts with the Gorilla Wheel locks 61641. They say in the instructions to tighten to the car manufacturer torque specs, in our case 140 flbs. Well this wheel lock has a key that goes inside the sleeve that spins. Upon attempting to tighten I spun out my key.

I now have a new key on order and have to wait till it gets here. Fortunately it was the first one I tried so am only out one key. Gorilla locks dont like 140 flbs.

Cheers
