The lugs don't strip out, the key does. If they only made the key the same material as the lugs they'd be a great deal for the price...very lightweight.

hand force can be a lot. Your best bet is to use a torque wrench. you would be surprised how little 80ft-lbs is.

I've had mine for almost a year - no stripping whatsoever of the key.

TORQUE WRENCH.
