I have a Toyota Tacoma Baha 2014, spit the 8 point spline lug that came with the truck, will this 8 point lug work with my truck?
Does anyone know if this will replace a key lock with pointed splines? Everything else is identical.
can I use the lug nut wrench that come with the vehicle (2003 Jeep Liberty) for the lock on my spare if I get a mcgard 65300 splineguard?
Will this fit a 2001 Toyota Avalon?

McGard Spline Tool

Not much to say when it's a factory product. The original was lost, this was a perfect replacement. Excellent customer service and quick delivery!

Works Just fine exactly what i needed

There is a bunch of reviews on the quality and durability of the keys. I have already used these a multitude of times and haven't had one break. That being said I actually use a torque wrench and torque to manufacturer specifications even on lug nuts. Ill update if that ever changes and they break, but at this moment i highly doubt it.

Great replacement tool.

Tire shop lost my old tool.This works fine and is super thin walled and great for recessed lug nuts.it seems like it's made out of aluminum and that combined with how thin it is makes it seem quite fragile I definitely wouldn't use an impact with it.

Not McGard Brand,

Not McGard Brand as advertised. Also was a 10 spline, not 8 spline like a Mcgard. Did Not fit.

Works great! Better construction than original! Be careful when applying torque!

Hit a pothole, got a flat. Tried to use my McGard wheel lock key to remove the lugnuts. Tire mechanic had tightened them too tight.Tried using a socket wrench I had, but it broke. Next used the "checkmark" wrench. Got 3 of the 5 nuts off and then proceeded to "tear"/break my wheel lock. Ugh!Following day went to several automotive supply stores (Pep boys, Napa, autozone, etc.) but none carried the McGard Spline wheel lock. Figured I'd try the one on amazon.Perfect fit! Also, the one I ordered from Amazon has a thicker construction wall than the original. The original wheel lock was very thin-walled and as others have pointed out was not well reinforced and error prone to "twist" and break (see pics) if you applied uneven pressure (which is easy to do when the "checkmark" wrench when you are heaving against it).With this wheel lock from Amazon and the "X" or "cross" wrench I was able to apply even pressure to the wheel lock and remove my flat tire.Needless to say, if you have wheels that require this lock, I would suggest a few things:1) NEVER use the "checkmark" or "elbow" wrench when using this wheel lock (see pic). Either buy a breaker bar OR use an "X" or "cross" wrench.2) Although you could "reinforce" the wheel lock with epoxy as mentioned by one reviewer, the wheel lock from Amazon is **more** sturdy than the original one I had. I think it's sufficient as long as you apply even torque/pressure by using the RIGHT wrench (see #1)3) I would suggest buying **2** of these if you plan on using these wheel locks for a while. Why? Because very few stores carry this wheel lock, it's very easy to shear this wheel lock, and it's only $10 for an extra one. This way you won't get stranded like I did because the first one broke.4) Buy a breaker bar (see attached pic). These are specifically used to loosen difficult or very tight lugnuts and will make it easier than using an "X" wrench to get them lose. These too are inexpensive. I recently purchased:  Capri Tools 1/2 Inch Drive Extension Breaker Bar, 377 ft-lb, 24 inches . To use the breaker bar, just buy a 1/2 inch to 13/16 spark plug socket and use :  TEKTON 14264 1/2-Inch Drive by 13/16-Inch Spark Plug Socket  (see one of my pictures on how the spark plug socket fits over the wheel lock)I give this product only 4 out of 5 instead of 5 stars because, although it did save my butt, it's still so long of a wheel lock and the walls of it could definitely be better reinforced. With the right tools and making sure your mechanic doesn't over-tighten your wheel lugnuts, this product should work fine and should be a better replacement than the original McGard spline wheel lock.

Good Socket When Used Properly

Works well for me for 4 years changing tires for events on my Autox/Track racer. DO NOT USE AN IMPACT WRENCH ON IT. It is a tough STEEL, not aluminum, socket for 8 splined lug nuts using a torque wrench. My wheels specify 82 ft/lbs, but I think its good for at least 120.

Fit is perfect,

loosened lug nuts that mechanic torqued too tight 👍🏾

McGard 65300 spline drive installation tool

This socket fits the McGard 65000 series spline drive lug nuts; Black, Chrome, Red cap, etc. This tool gets bad reviews because the socket wall is thin and will split if you don't beef it up.I chose to buy the package of four 65330 spline drive lug nuts because all the other spline drive lug nuts that fit my application came is sets of 20, 24, or 30. I did not need or want a security lug nut on every lug nor pay $30 for lug nuts. 3 or 4 lug nuts would do.The McGard 65330 was perfect EXCEPT for the bad reviews on the tool. I could not find another 13/16 8 spline socket, so I decided to modify the tool. If you are at all handy, you can do what I did:It was worth an hour of my time to take the tool to the hardware store, find a galvanized pipe nipple that slid inside the installation tool, another that fit around the tool, trim each piece to length, and use JB Weld to epoxy the 3 pieces together.(1) I seated one of the lug nuts in the tool, then slid the galv pipe into the tool from the other end until the galv pipe hit the lug nut. I cut off the excess pipe sticking out of the installation tool, then roughed up the outside of the galv pipe and the inside of the tool with a ScotchBrite pad. Wipe both pieces off, mix up a slug of two part JB Weld epoxy (the White & Black 24 hour stuff, DON'T use the clear 5 minute epoxy), slather both surfaces, and slide them together. Let it set up overnight.(2) Repeat the process for the outside of the socket and the inside of the galv pipe that the socket slides into. Now the installation tool is reenforced inside and outside. I spray painted the beefed-up installation tool bright Red so it's easy to see.

Material de baja calidad

Funciona muy poco tiempo, el material deja mucho q desear, es muy maleable no aguanta mucha fuerza al apretar o aflojar

A spare tool is always a good idea.

Used to install and remove the spline-drive style lug nuts as produced by McGard. Sturdy enough for what it does. Fits the McGard nuts perfectly...no surprise. One is kept in the emergency kit in the truck; this spare is for the tool kit in the garage.A few reviewers think it should be more "robust" like the keys that come with the locking nuts. The "keys" only engage the locking nuts along the keyway, so both need to be quite strong at the point of contact. This tool fits over the whole nut, so there's no issues with slippage or strength.Some reviewers seem to be unaware that the installation tool is meant to be used with hand tools only...so there's no point in making it heavier (and more costly) for no reason. If you go out and buy some expensive spline-drive nuts for your expensive alloys wheels, and then use a powered tool on them...you might want to reconsider the wisdom of working on your own car.

Spline tool

Works as advertised

More metal in a pop can

These are junk!!! Paper thin. Don’t bother if you are planning on anything over 100 ft/lbs of torque, and NEVER use with an impact. Absolute garbage.
