To use the Laser locking wheel nut socket from Halfords you you will need a powered impact wrench in order to use the wheel nut remover. Most wheels are taken by opportunistic thieves in carparks etc where, hopefully, they don't have access to an appropriate impact wrench. It is possible to steal anything, the object is to make your pride and joy more difficult to steal than the next guys so they take theirs instead , lockable wheel nuts, whilst not fool proof help in this respect. £40 spend to protect a £2500 set of plus 6 wheels is not a bad investment in my eyes
You are way behind the times, the scum have battery powered angle grinders to get wheels off if they just want the tyres.
Just to check your claim about needing an Impact wrench, I took a locking wheel nut off with just a socket bar in a couple of minutes with the Laser branded socket. No need for an Impact wrench.
Where is the published data to confirm your notion that that these thief’s are opportunistic?????????????
Your money to waste!!
