Let me start by saying I *wanted* to love this wheel lock. That neon yellow screams 'back off, thieves!' and the adjustable design (7-12 inches) fits my SUV, motorcycle, AND boat trailer. But after testing it for weeks, here's the raw truth.

The Good: Installation is stupid easy – snap it on, push the lock cylinder, done. The soft coating didn't scratch my rims, and having 3 keys (normal-sized, not those tiny padlock ones) is clutch when I'm juggling gear at the marina. From afar? It looks intimidating.

The Bad: That 'high-strength steel' feels suspiciously light. I could literally flex the locking arm with my hands – not reassuring when protecting a $15k boat trailer. One reviewer wasn't lying: a determined thief with a crowbar would wreck this in seconds. Also, the lock mechanism feels cheap; mine started sticking after rain exposure.

Real-World Verdict: It's a *visual* deterrent at best. Fine for quick grocery runs where theft risk is low, but I wouldn't trust it overnight at a sketchy parking lot. For heavy-duty security? Spend extra on something more rugged.
