Disco 1 wheel key

Bit of help please.
Decided after 28 months my front disc pads need changing
15 842 miles.Got pads(mintex from paddocks), removed first wheel and removed old pads. Surprise only approx 50% worn but because i had new pads i fitted them anyway to both wheels.Last lot from mintex were changed at 19955 miles. Is this good or bad? whats the thought.
next problem, bent the wheel key trying to remove wheels as they had been put on by airgun when new tyres fitted last December. Did straighten up a bit by using a tube but now not a happy bunny.
As far as I can measure, the wheel nut is 25mm, and what do you think about buying a 25mm socket with six flats inside and using a power bar to remove nuts in future.

cheers

I don't have lockers on my Disco. Only the standard wheel nuts with what seems to be a loose cap.
The basic wheel key has bent because of the force I had to use to loosen the wheel nuts.
Which is why I would rather use a Socket and power bar if this is a reasonable query.
