adamd Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 So now the next question is. Whats the point of lock nuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 So now the next question is. Whats the point of lock nuts? Just what i was thinking when I bought a set of these, but to get the locking wheel nut out of the tool I did need a vice to hold the wheel nut while the tool was unscrewed back off the nut. A vice would be a trifle heavy for a car thief to carry about with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vice would be a trifle heavy for a car thief to carry about with him. It is the time factor too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
