The AB Tools BPT037 2-piece locking wheel nut remover set is an essential solution for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts who need to remove stubborn or damaged locking alloy wheel nuts when the original key is missing or stripped. Featuring impact-rated construction, these tools provide a reliable way to extract fasteners ranging from 19mm to 26mm, though users should note that the biting process is intended for extraction and will likely damage the locking nut beyond further use.

It is designed for nuts ranging from 19mm to 26mm; however, it may not work on certain high-security spinning-collar nuts.
No, the removal process is designed to bite into the metal, which will deform the nut surface, making it unusable.
While recommended for the best results, you can use a long-handled power bar or ratchet if sufficient physical torque is applied.
They are constructed from high-strength chrome molybdenum steel for maximum durability.
No, the sockets are designed with a standard 1/2 inch square drive to fit directly onto most compatible tools.
Ensure the socket is seated fully onto the nut by tapping it with a mallet, and verify that the impact gun is providing enough torque to force the threads to bite.
Use a punch or a small bolt through the back of the socket to tap the removed locking nut out after extraction.
To use this set, ensure your 1/2 inch drive tool is set to the 'reverse' or 'unscrew' position. Because these sockets are made of hardened chrome molybdenum steel, they require very little maintenance. After use, it is recommended to clean any metal shavings or debris from the internal threads using a wire brush to ensure the teeth remain sharp for the next job. Store the set in a dry place to prevent surface oxidation, and avoid using high-heat torches on the sockets, as this can degrade the heat treatment of the steel.
