    Yup, looks like trouble to me especially on the alloy wheels of today. Also wonder how it works on old dirty used lug nuts. Cute but no Cigar from me!

    Also that formula car above and a lot of the high level race cars use a single large nut...toward the end of the Gif you can see the large socket on the end of the impact. And yes they are very trick impacts run on pure nitrogen. Typically I think these single nuts are retained in the impact for re-installation as they only change tires a few times in a longer race or weather issues. NASCAR still uses multiple lug nuts to represent the "Stock Car" theme and are glued in.
