McGard Wheel Lock Fail

The new McGard wheel locks are awesome. In fact, they are so awesome that they are almost impossible to remove without the key.
I was rotating the tires and stripped the wheel lock. Tried again then it bent. FML! Tried hammering on a smaller socket and it started turning. The new locks have an outside sleeve/washer. I tried a monkey wrench, reversed nut remover, vise grips and even pulled out the dremel to try to cut the sleeve off. No luck! Those damm things work great. Called a buddy uo and asked if he had time to weld a few things. Worked great but stupid me only had new craftsman sockets in the jeep.
