You'd most likely want to keep it in the car at all times in case of a flat.... but yeah

its like one of the round wrench socket attchments, right? doesn't leaving it in the car defeat the whole purpose? if the thief breaks in, finds your keys, he could steel your rims. wouldn't it make more sense to attach it to your keychain instead?

it's too big to attatch to your key chain comfortably
