It would be nice to get the "fitter" (for want of a better word) out of bed at 3am to undo the wheel nuts that he lovingly tightened up to about 250nm when it's p***ing with rain on the hard shoulder.
The worse ones we come across in the motor trade are locking wheel nuts that have been put on with a hammer gun far too tight and the key is so Knackered that it will not undo them.
But that's another story as locking wheel nuts are a pain in the arse for most mechanics as it can take ages to find the key, and that's even if the customer knows what one is and where it would be !!!!!!
