    I give that about a week after it comes out, before you can buy compatible socket wrenches on AliExpress.

      Exactly, this whole article is stupid and I kinda like the little fasteners.

      I’ll buy a set of these screwdrivers for $10 and put them in my speciality tool drawer and call it a day.

      No problems here.

      Yeah, like those security lug nuts. Guess what, guys?

      We’ve had two vehicles come with them. I remove them the first time I have a wheel off for some reason.

        I wouldn’t say the security wheel nuts are entirely useless.

        Although a set is only about $25 on Amazon, it does limit the pool of potential wheel thieves to serious professionals who are looking for something more valuable to justify buying and carrying multiple sets of these around.
