After 3 months of daily use on my Ford F-150, this steering wheel lock has become my parking lot security blanket. That first time the alarm unexpectedly blared when someone bumped my truck? Nearly gave me a heart attack - but proved how sensitive the motion detection really is!

The steel bar does get uncomfortably hot under direct Arizona sun (I've started keeping gloves in my console), but I appreciate how the heat-treated metal shows zero wear from my attempts to test its durability. The locking mechanism requires firm pressure - not ideal when you're rushing, but reassuring when considering theft prevention.

My favorite unexpected benefit? The bright yellow lock makes my truck look like a harder target compared to other vehicles in crowded mall parking lots. Though I did have one scare when the allen screw loosened - a drop of thread locker fixed that issue permanently.

Installation became second nature after the first week: twist steering wheel, snap on, adjust tension, remove key. Takes me about 8 seconds now. Much faster than walking back to check if I remembered to lock it - the visible deterrent gives me peace of mind during overnight street parking.
