How does this prevent someone from swapping the wheel with a spare? Does it need to be used in conjunction with keyed lugs?

It (by itself) does not stop someone from using a spare. But where are they getting the spare?? Are they carrying one around to match your car? The club makes it near impossible to drive away with your car (or in my case a pop up camper.) You could use a keyed lug to make it more difficult if it is easy for them to provide a spare.

It doesn't prevent this. If you want max security, get the keyed lugs. My car would be of most interest to joy riders. It doesn't have a lot of cash value so it seems very unlikely someone would risk the time it would take to change the tire. Your car may be a more enticing target. In which case, keyed lugs would be a good idea.

I am pretty sure that it does not come with a lugnut lock. Yes, I think it can be defeated by removing the wheel. However, with that said I still really like the Club 491 Tire Claw. It provided another layer of security that doesn't revolve around the steering wheel. Finally can't you buy seperate locking lugnuts, which is a good idea!

What you see here are 20 lug-nuts. They are that, lug-nuts, however they require a special socket, so they cannot be removed with just any wrench. On the other hand, professional thieves will very likely have one of those sockets, and a set of lock keys, the best thing is to be careful where you park.

As it was identical to mine, you can swap the remote/key section half with the battery/circuit board bits, and keep from fighting with your immobilizer.Also, if you wanted to swap the keys, the steel pin will push out, saving you from having to rewind any springs at all.

If this package is the correct image, there are 16 regular lug nuts and also 4 locking lug nuts to put 1 on each wheel, it also comes with a special tool to install and remove these 4 lug nuts so that without this tool you can't remove those lug nuts thus preventing someone to steel your wheels without extreme efforts. But remember if you don't put this tool up where you only have access then you can't get them off either if you have a flat on side the road!

You bmw suppose to be using bolts rather than lug nuts. I think that's how bmw does it.

I imagine you'd have to find a way to bypass the Clutch Safety Switch, I'm sure you could find a guide online! Then just make sure you don't leave it in gear, when starting!

No its not a "special" key its made so its doesn't scratch or nick the corners of the lugs. Still a 19mm socket

This is to program your 5 tires to your car's TPMS system. Most commonly switching between two sets of wheels for summer/winter. It will not bypass or bootleg around to not make the light come on. You need to have your IDs for each sensor before using it

Dear Candide: I have two of these products. The one you are asking about and one that is simpler only having pliers and screw drivers. I no longer carry this item on my truck keys because the key ring was getting too heavy. I have separated my keys to lighten the truck key ring. Too heavy a ring is not good for ignition switch longevity. I'd suggest that if this is a concern that you go with the simpler version of this tool.

A better solution is a breaker bar. This can be used to tighten lugs, but it's much easier with the breaker bar. I had to stand on the bar for it to loosen lugs.

They have adapters that go from 1/4 to socket drive. But to change tires they have impacts that are socket drive already. Idk if youd want to change your tires with this, but in a pinch it would probably do it. Like ur stuck on the side of the road. I wouldnt use this as a normal tool to change your tires. Ive never done it and idk if it would work out. If you end up doing it make sure you hit it with a tire iron after to see how tight they are.

hi, nice car/wagon. these come with both sockets,one for locks,and one for lugs. the lug one has corner relief.to prevent nick or damage to lug chrome and edge. DO NOT use air tools to loosen or tighten them it will cause damage. use hand and torque wrench set to 90ft.lb. tighten in cross pattern. they are to be used with other like you have sockets.

I don't know what application you are planning to use this in, and why you would want "lock" the differential. If this is an RC application, you could have a straight shaft without the differential which would in effect "lock" the rotations of the two wheels together. The differential allows power to be transmitted to the two wheels but allow both to turn at different rates as when a car takes a turn. In a turn, the outer wheel would need to complete a wider arc than the inner wheel, and so the outer wheel would need to turn faster. The differential is the devise that allows you to do that. You could also "lock" this differential by wedging a metal pin between the planetary gears, but that is the same as having a straight shaft without the differential. This is an excellent explanation of how a differential works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4JhruinbWc. I'm sorry, but I can't seem to understand the purpose of the need to "lock" the differential.

Hello, With the use of an aftermarket lug kit, the hub rings should not needed (the wheels would center on the lugs not the hub ring). -Tom

These are designed to remove the mechanism different manufacturers use to prevent wheel and hubcap theft. It will remove the keyed lug nuts and hub cap screws of quite a few designs but without knowing who made the wheel or the vehicle and what your locking mechanism specifically is I couldn't comment on its ability to remove your specific wheel.

Lug centric all of your cars weight is on the lugs in stead of the hub which cause them break and send your wheel flying off ,very high risk
