I have to agree with him but will add cheap and poor tools are often a curse.

They tend to chew up or break at just the wrong moment

It's the poor wheel nuts that are the real curse here guys.

This thread has enough good tips for a how to guide on getting stuck wheels and rounded nuts off. Cheers for the idea contributions guys.
