They are pretty shit tbh and not that hard to get off, but will slow a thief down 10mins and make a bit of a noise...
Mine are 19, tried 3 different sockets, an irwin remover... no luck at all.

Even got one of the other ones I managed to get out and tried welding a nut to it. However where its polished and hardened the weld just would take to it strong enough.
