Wheel locking nuts - removing without the socket?
 
Well it would seem the socket to remove my wheel locking nuts has gone walkies :(

Any tips guys?

They are 19mm bolts

I read to buy a 20mm socket and hammer it on to the bolt.... easy?

I saw a tool on Halfords website, from what I gather you turn on the bolt clockwise and it scores its way on to it - then turn the other way and it locks on and removes it....... is it any good though?

The halfords type bites into the locker as you turn it anti clockwise and hopefully undoes the locker itself.

These type are ok if the locker doesn't have a loose collar but if it does it's best to chisel it off.

Last set of aftermarket lockers I removed at work I just smashed an undersized socket on and undid them.
