Yeah, I agree with you ....................

I see they sell spare "Blades" by the bucket load though 

How often do you have to change them IRL, are they 'use once' or do they last for ages if you're not using them like a Gorilla every day ?

Hi Dave, the kit cost me £100 a long time ago, it’s probably £200 now. The blades can be re used, I get about 3 sets off with one side of the blade. Overtightened ones always need a fresh blade. 

The good thing is with this kit and the mcgard style nuts/bolts are removed without any damage, so if the punter has their key in the kitchen drawer they can be refitted.

Does that kit do the Pug?citroen 4 pun type nuts,they are the only ones that we struggle with,on the video it says will cover every type of locknut,always a bit dubious about those claims.We use a firm called Evo Automotive for a lot of replacement locking keys,just take a good quality photo and e mail to them and if it was opbne of their designs will send a replacement key in abot 1 or 2 days for about £16.00,very helpfull firm.but we do struggle with those citroen types,you can order the from citroen wiyh chassis no. but is about £70.00!!!

It’s does the pug/Citroen, it damages the nut/bolt and can’t be reused. 

They bring out new blades for new locknuts too.

LOL, not up here they wouldn't cos they'd have gone in my bin as soon as I got 'em off lol !!

Cheers, think I'll buy a set, probably a good way to invoke the law of sod and never need 'em again
