Others have suggested this secure wheel nut also, the differences are: The NiCd cell nuts have 5 dimples equidistant (every 72 deg one dimple) and the dimples are ball shaped, not cylinder. In fact, the balls that engage the dimples will need to be on springs to allow them to push in, as the top wall of the dimple curves back to seat more than half-sphere, allowing a strong engagement of the 5 balls in the dimples once fully seated as the side to side will hit the flat side of the dimple and have no resulting force to push the ball back into the tool, only when lifting/lowering the tool on the nut. Hope this clarifies: - nut is half-dome shaped - 5 equidistant dimples more than half-sphere deep to engage the tool onto the nut. Now just to find the tool... Oh and the original owner who installed the pack has moved out of the area and I have precisely one old email address that has not bounced yet. And the vehicle owner of the past 6 or so years is not an EV'er and just had it parked in his backyard after buying it. Cor.
