Hello,

Can't find any listing on ebay

Stupid stuff. Stealers are equipped anyways so why use anti-theft bolts? You lose the socket and you are stupidly stucked.

What you have pictured is a "Gator Grip" socket.
Too bulky to be useful removing wheel lugs that are recessed.
Look for one of the tools that feature a gentle left hand helix with sharp edges sold for removing rounded nuts and bolts.

I've had good success just by hammering on a slightly undersize 12 pt. socket too.

Try looking under 'security screwdriver' or 'security bits' or 'tamperproof' if you are looking on english language ebay. The past tense of 'stuck' is still 'stuck'. My french is passable but my flemish is non-existant so feel free to have a go back;)
