Removing with a power gun isn't really an issue, they just shouldn't be done up with one. If the locking nut key was damaged trying to get the nuts off then they were obviously already done up to tight previously. Not really the tyre fitters fault.

I've been a mobile tyre fitter for 7 years and i've snapped countless locking nut keys due to monkey mechanics doing them up to tight with air guns. Not really avoidable.
