When trying to loosen the wheel locks on my 2003 Lexus RX300 I broke three of them which rendered my wheel lock key unusable. I purchased this product after reading about the proper technique for removing a torn wheel lock. I was able to remove the broken wheel locks, but destroyed the tool in the process. At first I used the tool as intended, but the wheel locks on my car are very stiff, so the teeth on the tool ripped off completely. Dejectedly, I scored a section one size smaller than the lock and it helped. I had to fiddle around a bit. When I did this for the third lock, the tool was almost done. If you need this tool reusable, don't take it. If you need to release a lock or two and don't mind fiddling with it, you can make it work. Heck, it's not that expensive. The price is lower than any bike shop.
