Let me start by saying this lock does its job—mostly. The first time I clamped it onto my Jeep's steering wheel and brake pedal, I felt a surge of relief. No more worrying about opportunistic thieves when I leave the doors off. The bright orange handle is like a neon 'keep out' sign, and the alloy body feels sturdy enough to withstand some prying.

But here's the catch: that plastic handle? It pops off if you look at it wrong. I fumbled with it twice in a parking lot, cursing as it clattered to the pavement. And don't get me started on the keys—they feel like they're made of tin foil. One reviewer wasn't kidding about them snapping inside the lock (thankfully mine survived... so far).

Where this lock shines is adjustability. It retracts smoothly to fit snugly between my lowered steering wheel and brake pedal, eliminating wiggle room. The foam padding hasn't scratched my interior, which I appreciate. But I learned the hard way: if your steering wheel isn't at its lowest position, a determined thief could exploit that gap.

For $30? It's decent theft deterrent theater—enough to make criminals move to an easier target. Just don't expect Fort Knox security when that plastic handle feels like it belongs on a kid's toy.
