The inside of the tyre was shredded where the allen key was moving with every revolution of the wheel. Went from 36psi to 0psi in about 20 seconds 
And a gratuitous Takla shot for no good reason
Accidentally drove around with the exhaust bung in for 55 miles after changing the wheel at the roadside  Still in when I got home  Must be a quality item   Going, going...... Gone!

Well 4lan, at least it was an 4llen key!
Bet you'dve been gutted if it were a 9hillips screwdriver!

Tyre totalled. The inside of the casing was absolutely wrecked and the tyre was getting close to replacement anyway. Still a pain in the backside Going, going...... Gone!
