Velo Orange skewers are a terrible idea. I bought some, and Channel locks or vise grips remove very easily. In fact, since they actually put a serrated surface on the ends, I wouldn't be surprised if a very strong grip with rag would loosen it! Hard to believe anyone could have actually installed a set of these and not immediately realized this.
