I'm curious about those Apex Elite ones -- anyone ever have issues with the slots feeling like they were going to round?

I used these:

I have mixed emotions, as it was good for the most part, but the one time it started rounding when I used an impact to loosened scared me. Haven't had an issue since, but makes me think about options. I know the OEM BMW ones had a bunch of issues with the key getting mangled and useless. I also feel like I'd want two keys instead of just one as I'm paranoid. All said, I did like these because the slots went all the way to the bottom (so the grip is decent) and it didn't have a different diameter than the stock lugs.
