i haven't found a locking lug nut set yet that can stand up to 4000 mile tire rotation. Granted I gave up after 2 sets with broken keys.
Torque wrench? I get plenty of torque with my star wrench.

Another trick
I've used this trick a few times. Find a box end wrench or socket that is just barely too small to go over the locking nut and drive it on with a hammer. Then drive it off after it is clear.

When I misplaced my Mopar key, I contacted McGard, who makes the Mopar lugs, and had a new key in a few days for a modest sum. They'll also overnight the key. I had the Gorillas, but removed them because, being a larger size than the stock lug nuts, they were a hassle to use. They didn't fit with much clearance on my wheels, obsoleting a bunch of my sockets and wheel tools, and I only had a set for four wheels (thus the spare used the differently-sized, stock lugs, and still retained the Mopar locking lug, so I had to have both keys).

All the suggestions here will work. My suggestion is to not put them on. Anyone that is going to steal your wheels and tires will have no problems with the locks. They won't even slow them down. They are a hassle to deal with offroad and down the line when they get all screwed up.
