crap - i've never seen that tool fail - i loaned mine out years ago and never got it back

115 is not high, but it isn't low either - typically you get into that, but i understand why they are doing it - it's a royal pain to grind them off

i presume they've tried all the normal stuff, like "nuts and bolts" or "liquid wrench", as well as heating it up, and then TIGHTENING it to wake it

this is EXACTLY why i hate lug locks, and why i remove them from nearly every one of my cars - the only one i still have them on is the denali, and that's because i drag the trailer around all over the country, and don't want to run the risk of being stranded on the road and have to deal with the hassle because somebody decided to steal my wheels

still, i don't torque those to full torque either, and i use anti-seize on all of the nuts

i know that none of that is much help on this instance, but it might help prevent it in the future
