We tested it on another locking lug nut and it grabbed and held on the tip amazingly hard(had to use a vice to separate them). Sure enough with little force and NO DAMAGE to the rim it grabbed and unscrewed it, no problem. Just goes to show if you want something done right... Do it yourself

I did the same thing when I had a similar issue years ago on my old camaro. Took a socket, smacked it on with an extension/hammer, and took the lug right off.
