Default Removing locking wheel nuts without the key

Anyone got a top tip? They are too wide to get anything overthem. I tried hammering a chisel into the top of them (they are kinda cros shaped) and managed to get one off, but think that was loose already cos it ain't working on the others.

Pic of them, as different techniques work better on some than others.

Big fucking drill tends to be pretty universal though if all else fails!

u can get sockets that hav an opposite thread on them and you use an impact gun with it so as the thread cuts into the nut it should grip it and undo the wheel nuts,havnt got any idea really if u cant get the socket over the nut
