Let me start by saying this steering wheel lock isn't just for show - that 120dB alarm is NO JOKY. I tested it by gently tapping my locked steering wheel, and BAM! The siren scared both me and my neighbor's cat. Perfect for parking in sketchy areas.
The heavy-duty steel construction feels like it could survive an apocalypse. I actually tried cutting it with my garage tools (for science!) and barely made a scratch. That hollow copper lock cylinder? Genius design - no way thieves are drilling through that easily.
Installation is stupid simple - twist your wheel, clamp it on, done. Takes me about 8 seconds now (timed it!). Fits my SUV's thick steering wheel perfectly, though the adjustment mechanism can be stiff at first.
Now the not-so-great: That steel bar turns into a frying pan in direct sunlight. I've started keeping gloves in my car after burning my hands twice. Also had the same allen screw issue another reviewer mentioned - needed to tighten mine with Loctite after a month.
Despite minor flaws, seeing this bright red beast on my wheel makes me sleep better at night. Just wish they'd include a heat-resistant cover or improve the screw design.
