Rounded off wheel nut removal tool?
Anyone got any experience of a decent wheel nut removal set? Seen loads on the net but not sure which is actually decent and going to work?
The actual nut in question has been slightly rounded off so upon trying to undo the nut slips off. I have tried 3 splines and bashed them over the top but they just keep on breaking!

These get really good reviews and have been recommended on here a few times.
I've not used them but am going to order a set:

Although just looking at spec,they only go upto 16mm
I'm sure they might do bigger sizes?

Believe it or not a plasma cutter if you very careful will take the head of with minimal damage to the paint. Know its hard to believe but have removed a few this way. It all started when a man brought a car in and was in a panic and didn't care about the rim he just said get it off, he had a flat and was late for a flight. Tried all conventional methods and this was the last resort very very little damage and none to the alloy whatsoever.
