So my car has these crappy gorilla hex socket lugs (which i don't really like since they seem to be all rusted inside from the key wrench scratching it)
Anyway, since these lugs require that key wrench to remove them and wheel locks require the wheel lock key, is it safe to put the wheel lock key/lug nut key wrench into an impact socket and use an impact wrench to remove them or would they shatter? i just bought an impact gun for changing tires and don't wanna mess up anything. -------------------- |
