Lug Off removal tool...expensive but should work...

I found a pair of specialty sockets called Lug Off, they are for removing
damaged, rusty, or the key-type of mag lug nut. They look like a reverse
Easy-out tool, with spiral threads inside the sockets. Guy at the counter
said the tire store down the street used them all time to remove those keyed
mag lugnuts when the owners forget to leave them the special key, or rusty
one when they've rounded off. I have a '57 chevy that's been sitting, and I
didn't know how I was going to get the rusty lugs off, they'd downsized from
rusting so long, the lug wrench just spins on them. So, now I have a good
tool to get them off with! They're made by Steck, P/N 71200, and have a
disclaimer saying Not to sale to General Public, Professional use only. So
they must work! They better for $40! Now I just need to figure out how to get
the lug nuts out of the socket when I remove them, if they jam in the
socket...hmm. I'll figure it out.
