Default muteki lug tool is crap... need a replacement in eastern PA

should've researched this prior to now but the lug tool muteki supplied with the lugs is way too long and the material is way too weak. i was torquing it to only 88ft-lbs (which is a good amount higher than what the packaging says they're rated for? WTF) and the open end of the tool split so now i'm stuck without a way to tighten or remove the lugs

anyone in the allentown/bethlehem/easton area have a spare or two that i can purchase? or know of another tool that'd work (i thought i read that gorilla sells a similar tool that can be used with muteki lugs)

i NEED this before the weekend... car needs an alignment before the weekend and i have an upcoming HPDE

its really common, try asking random people, or craigslist, or look at other peoples cars and find the lug nuts and ask the owners. Its freaking hella common. Up here in WA anyways.

For reference -- A&A had Gorilla lug nut tools for $8/ea so I bought two and they fit perfectly and appear much beefier than the Muteki tool

i use to have them till my lug key broke. I probably took my wheels off and on 3 times before it broke. So i used a 17mm impact socket and hammered it onto each lug and got them off. And then threw the set away and got good lugs for my daily.
