Default reuse axle nuts?

Just wondering what peoples opinions/experiences are on reusing the axle nuts. In my case the soft part that gets hammerd into the divit is mangled so it won't "lock". Thaks

further seems forever = good

As for the nuts, they gotta lock or don't use them.

Thanks guys. I bought some new ones just in case so it looks like I'll be using 'em. Kinda wish Honda would of just drilled some holes and used cotter pins instead, way cheaper to replace.
