I've been using the Artago 862A/B handbrake lock for a few months now, and it's been a mixed bag. On one hand, it's incredibly sturdy and well-made, with a bright yellow design that's impossible to miss. The anti-drill ball and high-security lock give me peace of mind, knowing that amateur thieves won't easily bypass it.

Installation is straightforward—just screw or unscrew to adjust the length between the handbrake and gear shift. It fits my Toyota 4Runner perfectly, and I love that it prevents both car movement and shifting when the parking brake is up. The compact size makes it easy to store under the seat, which is a huge plus.

However, it's not without flaws. The ring shifter connection feels like a weak point; a pry tool could potentially open it, which is disappointing for a product this well-constructed. Also, it doesn’t fit shorter shifters, so double-check your car’s dimensions before buying. While it won’t stop a determined thief with power tools, it’s a great visual deterrent and adds an extra layer of security.
