ABSTRACT:
A device for use with a wheel lug nut having a frustoconical exterior surface includes a sleeve-like body adapted to be loosely fitted about the exterior surface of the lug nut so as to substantially cover the exterior surface thereof. The sleeve-like body defines two opposite inner and outer ends and concentrially-arranged, frustoconically-shaped interior and exterior surfaces extending between the inner and outer ends. When operatively positioned about a wheel lug nut used to secure a wheel rim upon a lug stud of a wheel, the sleeve-like body is retained upon the lug nut between the wheel rim and the frustoconical configuration of the lug nut and prevents the lug nut from being tightened or loosened by a tool such as a pipe wrench, operatively clasped about the exterior surface of the sleeve-like body.
