Never had a problem with a stripped lock nut or lock key........

.......have had problems with misplacing every key I've ever owned and had to chisel them off and replace with standard  :-[

A few times in the hands of quickflip and they soon will be  :( :y

Locking wheel nuts should be torqued to about 65ftlbs.
after having tyres fitted ask the manger what torque they have done them up to,if get a std stooopid look.,take torque wrench out of boot and show him how to use it.  :y
