Types, characteristics, functions, and uses of anti-theft screws for automobiles?

I believe many families have cars, but have you noticed that anti-theft screws are used on car wheels, which cannot be removed with conventional socket wrenches. Their existence greatly reduces the risk of car theft. So, what are the types of these screws? What are its characteristics? What are the functions? Let's take a closer look today.
Product classification
At present, anti-theft screws can be mainly divided into two types based on their structure and type: detachable and nondetachable. In the detachable type, it can be further divided into internal pentagonal screws, internal plum blossom screws, Y-shaped screws, external triangular screws, internal triangular screws, eccentric hole screws, and internal multi-toothed screws. The types of detachable screws that can be installed are mainly divided into S-shaped screws and straight-shaped screws
The anti-theft screws used in automobiles belong to a type of detachable screws, among which the more commonly used are screws with an internal plum blossom structure. The anti-theft is achieved by fine-tuning the plum blossom tooth shape, and each set of screws is equipped with only one unlocking key. Of course, some brands of cars will use screws with internal serrations, which achieve anti-theft effects by the number of internal teeth.

To protect the interests of users, anti-theft screws are installed on the car, which can allow customers to park their car in public parking lots with peace of mind without worrying about theft, avoiding huge financial losses caused by car theft.
Product usage
1. How to disassemble?
Due to the simple principle of car anti-theft screws, the shape of the screws is processed into an irregular shape. Therefore, if you want to disassemble them, you can only use the wrench that matches the screw. Ordinary disassembly tools cannot remove it.
2. What should I do if I lose the dismantling tool?
Many car owners may rarely use this dismantling tool in their daily lives, so they do not take it seriously. When they use it, they only realize that the dismantling wrench has been lost. At this time, we cannot randomly equip a dismantling tool that matches it. You can go to a specialized car dealership to order it. It is safer to use original screws and dismantling tools. Moreover, many anti-theft screws on the market make it easier to place their dismantling tools, so once a car is stolen, the benefits outweigh the losses.
3. What if it can't be dismantled?
Sometimes when disassembling, it is not easy to remove it, and the main reasons are lost keys, slipping threads, or damaged anti-theft sleeves. What should be done in such situations? You can try these methods:
1. Lubrication: If the screw is too tight to be disassembled, lubricant can be used to lubricate its components, and then gently tap with a small hammer to make it easier to disassemble.
2. Hard removal: If the screw is too tight or the screw has already slipped, you can try using a smaller sleeve and an air gun for disassembly.
3. Electric welding: Weld a long-handled metal rod onto a screw, and then use a wrench to tighten the metal rod, so that the metal sensation drives the screw to rotate. However, this method is more prone to damaging the car hub and should be used with caution.
4. Ion cutting: Melting screws through the high temperature of the ion cutting machine, but it should be noted that this method can cause paint to peel off.
The anti-theft screw is the main accessory of a car, and although it may seem inconspicuous, it plays a significant role. However, here we still need to remind car enthusiasts to choose regular parking lots or manned parking lots when parking. If the security of the parking location is poor, try to avoid parking in unsupervised or remote blind spots.
