I wouldn't buy another lock key as your nut will probably wreck it too. Last time I had the problem I had to weld a bolt onto the lock nut as the outside casing kept turning prevented me from using my first choice which was hammer an old socket on. The heat from welding probably helped too.
BTW the tool listed on ebay is for 1/2". Our wheel nuts are 22mm.

When my locking nut key broke, I went to my local LR stealers as they are supposed to hold masters I believe.
True to form they only hold them for the posh RRs and new Discos - but they did get the locking nuts off for me using an internal reverse thread socket thingie. Didn't even charge me! Probably felt sorry for a porper driving an old Freelander!
Rather than having the same problem again, I went to a breakers and bought 5 regular wheel nuts to replace them with.

you can buy the tool reasonably it has a reverse thread inside but ask your self is it worth buying another set of locking nuts when these tools are easy got to a thief.
