Used these before to remove wheel nuts. They held up and did the job - not sure about long term life though.  http://www.screwfix.com/p/laser-emergency-locking-wheel-nut-remover-set-4pcs/94826?cm_sp=Search-_-SearchRec-_-Area1&_requestid=1029544#

The Irwin ones are the same as Snap On, just a different name on them & about half the price.
They're very good :y :y

I  use to sell tools and garage equipment   and yes these lads are quite right,,,,they have been around for a long time and irwin are a great make and i rarely had any returns on them at all.....i think that if snap on sell tools as snap on then thats what they are....however if snap on buy this kind of stuff in from other suppliers then they re lable then as blue point and still charge the earth for them   :y
